Non-crimp fabric composites Manufacturing, properties and applications Edited by S V Lomov, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium DESCRIPTION Non-crimp fabric (NCF) composites are reinforced with mats of straight (non- crimped) fibres, giving them such advantages as strength, ease of handling and low manufacturing costs. Non-crimp fabric composites provides a comprehensive review of the use of NCF composites, their manufacture and applications in engineering. Part 1 covers the manufacture of non-crimp fabrics, including also topics such as structural stitching and automated defect analysis. Part 2 goes on to discuss the manufacture of non-crimp fabric composites, with chapters covering such topics as deformability and permeability of NCF. Part 3 focuses on the properties of NCF composites, with chapters on stiffness and strength, damage progression and fatigue. Finally , Part 4 covers t he applications of NCF composites, including chapters on the aerospace and automotive industries as well as wind turbines and helicopter applications. The book concludes with a discussion of cost analysis of NCF composites in engineering applications. With its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors, Non- crimp fabric composites is an essential reference for composite manufacturers and structural and mechanical engineers in industries using NCF composites, as well as academics with a research interest in the field. 978 1 84569 762 4 978 0 85709 253 3 592 234 x 156mm hardback April 2011 £160.00 US$270.00 €190.00 PLEASE NOTE THA T INFORMA TION AND PRIC ES ARE CORREC T A T TIME OF GOING T O PRESS BUT ARE SUBJECT TO AL TERA TION WITHOUT NOTICE KEY CONT ACTS Sales/Customer services [email protected] Marketing [email protected] Rights enquiries [email protected] Commissioning [email protected] Accounts [email protected] ISBN E-ISBN Pages Size Binding Pub Date Approx.

Non-crimp fabric compositesManufacturing, properties and applications
Edited by S V Lomov, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium
DESCRIPTION
Non-crimp fabric (NCF) composites are reinforced with mats of straight (non-crimped) fibres, giving them such advantages as strength, ease of handling and lowmanufacturing costs. Non-crimp fabric composites provides a comprehensivereview of the use of NCF composites, their manufacture and applications inengineering.
Part 1 covers the manufacture of non-crimp fabrics, including also topics such asstructural stitching and automated defect analysis. Part 2 goes on to discuss themanufacture of non-crimp fabric composites, with chapters covering such topics asdeformability and permeability of NCF. Part 3 focuses on the properties of NCFcomposites, with chapters on stiffness and strength, damage progression andfatigue. Finally, Part 4 covers the applications of NCF composites, includingchapters on the aerospace and automotive industries as well as wind turbines andhelicopter applications. The book concludes with a discussion of cost analysis of
NCF composites in engineering applications.
With its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors, Non-
crimp fabric composites is an essential reference for composite manufacturers andstructural and mechanical engineers in industries using NCF composites, as well asacademics with a research interest in the field.
