SUMMARY

This discussion centers on Composite Design Techniques, specifically focusing on fiber-based materials such as carbon, Kevlar, and fiberglass. Participants shared valuable resources, including "Composite Materials Design" and "Introduction to Composite Materials Design," which provide foundational knowledge in this area. Key texts mentioned include "Chung - Carbon Fibre Composites" and "Handbook of Composites" by Peters, which are essential for understanding composite systems. The conversation highlights the importance of both academic and practical resources for those interested in advanced composite materials.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fiber-based materials, including carbon, Kevlar, and fiberglass.
  • Familiarity with composite material properties and applications.
  • Knowledge of composite design principles and techniques.
  • Basic grasp of material science concepts related to composites.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Composite Materials Design" for foundational knowledge.
  • Explore "Introduction to Composite Materials Design" for a comprehensive overview.
  • Study "Chung - Carbon Fibre Composites" for insights into carbon fiber applications.
  • Investigate "Handbook of Composites" by Peters for advanced composite processing techniques.
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, material scientists, and designers interested in the development and application of fiber-based composite materials will benefit from this discussion.

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
