Discussion Overview

The discussion focuses on Composite Design Techniques, specifically regarding fiber-based materials such as carbon, Kevlar, and fiberglass. Participants seek and share resources and literature related to this area of study.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses interest in learning about Composite Design Techniques, particularly fiber-based materials, and requests recommendations for resources or books.
  • Another participant suggests various texts and online resources related to composite materials, including specific titles and links to educational materials.
  • Additional suggestions include specific books on carbon fiber composites and laminar composites, as well as military handbooks and general works on high-temperature composites and smart materials.
  • A later reply acknowledges the resource listings and expresses gratitude for the information shared.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the availability of resources related to composite materials, but there is no consensus on a single best resource or approach, as multiple suggestions are provided.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not resolve which resources are most effective or comprehensive, and it reflects a range of interests within the broader topic of composite materials.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in composite materials, engineering students, and professionals in materials science or related fields may find this discussion and the shared resources useful.

I am not sure if this is exactly the right place but it works either way.
I am interested in learning more about Composite Design Techniques
mainly fiber based materials (carbon, kevlar, fiberglass, ect...)
does anyone here know of any good resources/books that focus predominantly upon this area?
thank you
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
I believe there are various texts on materials, which discuss composities, and there are some devoted to composite systems. I'll try to dig up some references.

Meanwhile, check out these references -

Some books have found usable ...

Chung - Carbon Fibre Composites
Staab - Laminar Composites
Military Handbooks have a lot of info concerning composites
Handbook of Composites - Peters
Processing of Composites - Dave & Raju

... and then there are lots of general works about high temperature composites, ceramic & carbon-carbon etc. ones, smart materials and so on if you're into that sort of stuff (?).
 
thanks for the listings
some of them seem like great resources
once again thanks for the advice/information
