Composite Materials for Aircraft Structures
by Alan A. Baker, Stuart Dutton, Donald Kelly · Alan A. Baker, Stuart Dutton, Donald Kelly
The AIAA reference on fibre composites in aircraft, covering fibres, matrices, laminate mechanics, manufacturing, joining, damage tolerance, repair and certification. Readers learn how composite airframe parts are designed, analysed and qualified, drawing on the authors' experience at Australia's defence science agency.
