Topics: Introduction to Composites Reinforcing Fibers Matrix and Core Materials Composite Manufacturing Composite Safety Applying Pressure Methods of Curing Machining Composites Setting Up Shop Assessment and Repair Types of Repairs Review: Libro actualizado sobre el tema. - Muchas imágenes y fotografías. Eso es muy bueno, no solo texto. Review: Some good info, written in a bit of an unprofessional manner - This book is a good introduction to composites for those who know very little about the subject. It’s immediately clear that the author has a bit if a chip on her shoulder about being disrespected in a man’s world, it makes the book seem a little unprofessional and takes away from some otherwise good information. The story about having her question dismissed when asking how to repair a kevlar helicopter rotor is unnecessary for example.
