Composite Materials and Manufacturing [DVD]

Composites are made up of at least two distinct intended materials - a matrix material, and a reinforcement material. This program explains the relationship between these materials in the production of composite parts, and examines the various composite manufacturing processes, including: manual lay-up, automated lay-up, spray-up, filament winding, pultrusion, and resin transfer molding. This program also explores: Curing of composites, Composite cutting, machining, and drilling operations, Adhesive bonding of composite components, Mechanical fastening of composite components.
