Description

The Nile on eBay Processing of Polymer Matrix Composites by P.K. Mallick The book focuses on manufacturing processes for PMCs and describes analytical and experimental methods used for understanding process conditions. It covers fibers, thermosetting and thermoplastic polymers and interface characteristics. It emphasizes applications, quality inspection, tooling, manufacturing costs and environmental and safety issue FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Polymer matrix composites are finding increasing number of applications due to their high weight-saving potential as well as unique characteristics, such as high strength-to-density ratio, fatigue resistance, high damping factor, and freedom from corrosion. While many textbooks are available on the mechanics of polymer matrix composites, few cover their processing.Processing of Polymer Matrix Composites fills this gap. The book focuses on the major manufacturing processes used for polymer matrix composites and describes process details, process parameters and their effects on properties and process-induced defects, and analytical and experimental methods used for understanding process conditions. The book describes fibers, thermosetting and thermoplastic polymers, and interface characteristics that are important from the standpoint of both design and processing. It also emphasizes the applications of process fundamentals for both continuous fiber and short fiber polymer matrix composites. In addition the book considers quality inspection methods, tooling, and manufacturing costs and environmental and safety issues. Author Biography Prof. P.K. Mallick is the William E. Stirton Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Illinois Institute of Technology. His research focuses on polymers and composites, lightweight automotive materials, joining, and materials processing. Prof. Mallick has authored several books, including Fiber-Reinforced Composites: Materials, Manufacturing, and Design, 3rd Edition (CRC Press/Taylor & Francis). He is a Life Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and a Fellow of the American Society for Composites.

I think processing of materials in general has been somewhat neglected. Processing is really the key. Chapters 4 through 10 focus on a variety of processing techniques for polymer matrix composites. That would be my major attraction." —K. K. Chawla, University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA Details ISBN 1032178949 Author P.K.
