Fundamentals of Composites Manufacturing: Materials, Methods and Applications, Second Edition

This book covers it all. If you want to know about composites testing...it's got it. Want to learn about the chemistry behind polymers, aromatics, structural composites? Buy it. You won't be disappointed. If you need to come up to speed on composites whether it's because of a job or a hobby -- this makes a handy reference for the bookshelf. And it's very readable. You can plow through chapter by chapter starting up front or jump in midway. It's well crafted for a variety of audiences. You may find some chapters a bit "heavy" into the chemistry and bonding. Skim them and jump ahead -- there you'll find real world applications and excellent summaries at the end of each chapter. It even comes with a DVD.

A bit complicated but required for class. $70 less than school bookstore.

This is a great great book for the various types of engineers who are new to composites manufacturing.For mfg engineers, quality engineers, tooling engineers.

Excellent book for learning fundamentals of composites. For our purposes, it was instrumental in showing the procedures, methods, and applications of composite materials in a clear manner. The author made reading the chapters enjoyable, with excellent use of diagrams and graphs.

Very good book. Helpful reference material for those in the composites field.

Well written and the SME CD to provide a visual show the process in great detail. Loaded with the latest information and charts and graphs to help with comparisons.

Product exactly as described and shipment arrived quickly

The best book I have read about the composites. It doesn't have too much theory and covers almost everything about practical manufacturing.

Wide covering of all composites technology facts. More recommend to scholars than to more advanced professionals
