The book discusses cutting-edge technologies, advancements in processing techniques, and real-world applications of composite materials in diverse fields such as structural, engineering, aerospace, automobiles, and defense. It further covers important topics such as the design and development of green composites and optimizing the mechanical properties of composite materials.
This book:
Discusses the use of fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composite materials and artificial intelligence in the development of sustainable composites. Presents state-of-the-art methodologies such as fused filament 3D printing, and stereolithography to produce composite materials. Concentrates on the diverse equipment employed to assess the tribo behavior of materials, with emphasis on the use of the latest cutting-edge optimization techniques, such as artificial intelligence, to forecast the tribo behavior of the materials. Introduces a range of material and operational parameters that impact strength to predict the mechanical properties of the developed materials. Showcases a comprehensive examination of the prospective utilization of composite materials in lieu of traditional substances for wind turbine blades.It is primarily written for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and academic researchers in fields including industrial and production engineering, manufacturing engineering, materials science, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, and automobile engineering.
