Composites applications - The future is now
The present volume on the development status of advanced composites discusses resin-, ceramic- and metal-matrix composites, as well as tooling practices, testing and inspection methods, and novel applications. Attention is given to interface considerations in ceramic-matrix composites, applications of metal-matrix composites to military aircraft, advanced thermoplastic preforms, tooling for filament-winding processes, trapped-rubber molding methods, pultrusion for automotive applications, and composite-production tooling using CAD/CAM. Also discussed are expert systems for composites inspection and repair, acoustographic high-speed NDE for composites, the design and production of a composite landing gear-retracting beam, braided composite structures, and the uses of composites in orthopedics.
