Machining of Polymer Matrix Composites will serve as an indispensable reference/source book for process design, tool and production engineers in composite manufacturing. This book provides the reader with a comprehensive scientific treatment of the theory of machining as it applies to fiber reinforced polymer composites, covers the latest technical advances in the area of machining and tooling and discusses the applications of fiber reinforced polymer composites as they are used in the aircraft and automotive manufacturing industries.
From the reviews: "This book covers the theoretical foundation and practical aspects of machining of polymer composites with quality and innovation in seven chapters. ... The present book can be used for final undergraduate engineering course ... or as a subject on manufacturing of composite materials at the postgraduate level. ... this book can serve as a useful reference for academics, manufacturing researchers, mechanical, materials and manufacturing engineers, professional in related industries with composite manufacturing."
