by Cindy Foreman
Advanced Composites by Cindy Foreman - Written for the aircraft technician or builder who requires a detailed understanding of composite materials and techniques as used on a wide variety of modern aircraft ranging from high performance homebuilts, military, and transport category applications. This book goes beyond the simple sandwich type structures and expands your expertise to Kevlars, Ceramics, Boron fiber, honeycomb cores, etc....
Techniques such as vacuum bagging, heat and pressure curing, machining techniques, and manufacturing methods are covered in detail. This book is written for the technician, not the engineer and is full of practical technique clearly showing exactly how to perform various operations required when working with these advanced materials.
