Liquid Composite Molding

Liquid composite molding is a family of versatile methods to manufacture composite materials in the automotive, aerospace, railroad, marine, and defense industries. This well integrated text offers engineering students and industrial practitioners an expertly organized guide to the engineering principles and manufacturing issues critical to successful molding operations.
Liquid Composite Molding is an interdisciplinary treatment of transport phenomena in porous media, textile and automation technology to construct the porous reinforcement, and computer aided engineering for design optimization. The included CD ROM contains a permeability database and a finite element flow simulator for process design. Problems at the end of each chapter expand and clarify the most important topics.
