Non-crimp fabric (NCF) composites are reinforced with mats of straight (non-crimped) fibers, giving them such advantages as strength, ease of handling and low manufacturing costs. Non-crimp fabric composites provides a comprehensive review of the use of NCF composites, their manufacture and applications in engineering. Part 1 covers the manufacture of non-crimp fabrics, including topics such as structural stitching and automated defect analysis. Part 2 goes on to discuss the manufacture of non-crimp fabric composites, with chapters covering such topics as deformability and permeability of NCF. Part 3 focuses on the properties of NCF composites, with chapters on stiffness and strength, damage progression and fatigue. Finally, Part 4 covers the applications of NCF composites, including chapters on the aerospace and automotive industries as well as wind turbines and helicopter applications. The book concludes with a discussion of cost analysis of NCF composites in engineering applications.
