Description
Composites Engineering: An A-Z Guide provides a quick and accessible reference to composites terminologies. Arranged like a dictionary, each entry provides a brief but thorough description of over 90 typical and atypical composites terminologies. Comprehensive without being overly detailed, the book fills a gap for an accessible reference text of composites engineering terms and concepts. It is ideal for composites scientists and engineers at universities and in industry, as well as for undergraduates new to the field.
Key Features:
- An easy-to-use reference text on composites engineering for researchers and students, particularly those that are new to the field
- Provides an accessible reference for typical and atypical composites terminologies
- Arranged in A-Z format with 1-2 pages per term
- Entries are comprehensive but not overly complex or detailed
- Figures are included to illustrate the concepts being discussed
