Fundamentals of Composites and Their Methods of Fabrications: PMCs, MMCs, and CMCs

Farahmand, Bahram

This book provides readers with essential insights into composite materials, encompassing methods for fabricating composite parts (PMCs, MMCs, CMCs), determining their mechanical properties via coupon testing and rule of mixtures, and exploring their industrial applications. Additionally, the book covers topics of interest for engineers, including damage tolerance analysis, nondestructive inspections, repairing damaged composite and metallic parts, and fabricating composite parts using additive manufacturing processes. Drawing on his years of experience in the aerospace industry, the author believes the topics presented will be valuable to readers and that engineers in industries, students in academia, and university instructors will find this book beneficial.

• Introduces progressive failure analysis, fatigue, and fracture of composite, molecular dynamics, virtual testing, with several practical example problems
• Explores additive manufacturing methods and their application in fabricating PMCs and assessing mechanical properties
• Introduces nanocomposites and their fabrication methods, detailing advantages and disadvantages of the parts produced
