Composites Engineering: An A-Z Guide provides a quick and accessible reference guide to composites terminologies. Reflecting the increased centrality of composites science to a range of adjacent disciplines, the book covers many terms that are atypical to core materials science and mechanical engineering, discussing a range of specific terminologies associated with reinforced plastics and ceramic and metal matrix composites.
Arranged like a dictionary, each entry provides a brief but thorough description of over 90 typical and atypical composites terminologies, going beyond the normal scope of the format with additional content, tables, graphs and equations. Comprehensive without being overly detailed, the book fills a gap for an accessible reference of composites engineering terms and concepts.
The result is a clear and easy to use reference text, ideal for composites scientists and engineers at universities and in industry, that also serves as an accessible introduction for undergraduates entering the field for the first time.
