Composite Materials for Aircraft Structures, Third Edition

by Alan Baker, Murray L Scott (Contributor)

Composite Materials for Aircraft Structures, Third Edition covers nearly every technical aspect of composite aircraft structures, including raw materials, design, analysis, manufacture, assembly, and maintenance. Updated throughout, it features new material related to the areas of design, manufacture, and application to primary structure and through-life support that have advanced significantly over the past decade. Notable examples of significant civil aircraft usage of advanced composites now in service include the Airbus A350 and the Boeing 787, with several others soon to join them. Thirty years after initial publication, Composite Materials for Aircraft Structures, Third Edition continues to provide both university students and practicing aerospace engineers with an introductory text and reference book on composite structures. The many chapter authors are experts in their fields and collectively represent enormous expertise based on extensive practical experience and theoretical knowledge of composites relevant to aircraft structures.
