Integrated Design and Manufacture Using

This book examines the exploitation of fiber-reinforced polyermers (FRP) in the design of engineering components in the production of cost effective products. In particular, it focuses on the processes involved in the industrial design of components that utilizes composite materials and also demonstrates the techniques involved in making the appropriate material selection and design specification choices.
