New Composites Manufacturing Title
CRC Press has published a new book titled 'Composites Manufacturing: Materials, Product and Process Engineering' by Dr Sanjay K Mazumdar. The book runs to 416 pages (hardcover) and costs $99.95 basic price.The author presents a fundamental classification of processes helping the user to understand where a process fits within the overall scheme and which process is best suited for a particular component. The following are covered:
• Types of raw materials available for the fabrication of composite products.
• Methods of selecting the right material for an application.
• Six important phases of a product development process.
• Design for Manufacturing (DFM) approach for integrating benefits and capabilities of the manufacturing process into design of the product so that the best product can be produced in a shortest possible time and with limited resources.
• Detailed description of composites manufacturing processes with some case studies on actual part making such as boat hulls, bathtubs etc.
• Process models and process selection criteria.
• Design and manufacturing guidelines for making cost-competitive composite products.
• Procedures for writing manufacturing instructions and bill of materials.
• Joining and machining techniques for composite materials.
• Cost estimating techniques and methods for comparing technologies/manufacturing processes based on cost.
• Recycling approach to deal with post-market composite products.For ordering details, e-mail: booksale@e-composites.com
