    by CRC Press

    This book focuses on the repair of polymer composites for critical components in aerospace industries. It also covers the complexities of failure and repair of composites, types of fiber reinforcement and bonding. It includes special topics on damage assessment using on-site inspection (NDT and THz techniques) and automated repair processes for reliability and repeatability. Repair of Advanced Composites for Aerospace Applications also describes the characterization, modelling and simulation of the composites' damage mechanisms with respect to specific environments and applications. Failures associated with various composite repairing techniques for aerospace applications are also covered.

    Key Features:

    • Addresses the composites development process including damage detection and repair for aerospace applications.
    • Covers research on the multi-scale process modelling, material modelling, self-healing, repairing and their analyses.
    • Concentrates on the repair of composites for weight-sensitive applications in  automobiles and aerospace.
    • Analyses perspectives on materials processing and material design.
    • Details composite joints, their failure, and operations of aircraft component in various environments.


    This book is aimed at researchers, professionals and graduate students in composite materials, manufacturing, aerospace engineering, advanced materials design and manufacturing, composite materials repair, and hybrid materials repair.
