Integrated design and manufacture using fibre-reinforced polymeric composites /

Show other versions (1)

This very practical book is intended to show how composites are increasingly being used in real-world applications in areas where the primary material choice in the past would have been exclusively metals-based. A series of in-depth case studies examiines the design processes involved in putting tog...
