Inhaltsangabe

This book is an updated and expanded version of the course notes for the Composite Awareness course run by the Warwick Manufacturing Group in 1998-1999. The book gives readers an appreciation of composites, materials properties, manufacturing technologies and the wider implications of using composites in the automotive sector. It will be useful for those already working with composites in automotive applications and for those who are considering using them in the future.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

After reading for a PhD at the University of Bradford based on the control of a reaction injection moulding (RIM) machine, Nick Tucker worked as a contract researcher at PERA. He then manufactured fire resistant polyurethane foam articles including prison mattresses and the insulating linings for the air conditioning system in Hong Kong International Airport, before moving to the Warwick Manufacturing Group, where he is now the Faraday research fellow. Kevin Lindsey studied at Brunel University, where he gained a first class degree in materials science. After graduation he took up a position at ICI in the acrylics business group. During this time Kevin started work on developing resin systems for improved mechanical properties, in particular he developed techniques investigation of fibre/matrix interface adhesion. Kevin continued his studies in this subject at the University of Nottingham where he gained a PhD in mechanical engineering.
