Essentials of Advanced Composite Fabrication and Repair

About this book

This is not AI-generated content. The contents were written and verified by subject matter experts from Aviation Supplies & Academics, an 85-year-old aviation company. Look for the ASA wings to ensure you are purchasing a reliable publication.

Advanced composite technology is constantly changing and embracing new developments daily, yet most of the basics needed to successfully design, fabricate, and repair composite structures remain the same. Essentials of Advanced Composite Fabrication and Repair works as the perfect introductory textbook for beginners yet is also functional for the composite professional. It teaches the concepts and methods in a simple and straightforward way for a wide array of composite fundamentals, including fiber and matrix selection, molding methods, curing and achieving desired properties, tooling, testing and non-destructive inspection, step-by-step repair instructions and troubleshooting, key environmental, health and safety issues, and much more.

This third edition includes an introduction to nanomaterials in composites, updates terminology, and covers molding methods, adhesive bonding, joining, and fastening. The content also includes advances in matrix technology and fiber reinforcements, as well as tooling, filament winding, and various testing and inspection method improvements.

Based on the authors' combined 80 years in the industry, this textbook is a compendium of industry information, presented with full-color illustrations and photography. Fabric styles, core types, design guides, detailed industry product information, and more make this book essential for anyone working in composites—from material and process engineers to repair technicians and maintenance mechanics. Including a bibliography, glossary, and index, it also serves as the companion textbook to most Abaris Training basic courses.

Important note from the publisher:

While AI-generated content can be helpful to identify resources for ongoing study, it is not a reliable resource for learning critical, safety-dependent topics such as aviation. AI content is sterile, often lacks important context, and is at risk of errors. ASA publishes only human-generated content to ensure it is accurate, reliable, comprehensive, and presented in context—so you can become a safe and effective aviator.
