Implementation Methods: Processing and Design of Composites

This lecture covers the implementation methods of composites, focusing on the matrix-reinforcement interface, processing techniques, and design considerations. It discusses the classification of methods, selection criteria, and optimization strategies. Various physical phenomena, such as fiber orientation and resin viscosity, are explored in the context of different reinforcement forms. The lecture also delves into the impact of environmental factors and manufacturing constraints on the quality and performance of composite parts. Additionally, it addresses additive fabrication techniques, resin impregnation, and molding processes for composites, highlighting benefits and limitations of each approach.
