Product Description
Product Description
Today, most competition cars have at least some components made from composite materials. Fully updated to include the latest developments in material and techniques, this book explains how to exploit composites technology in the home workshop. It covers all the main materials and methods, from 'wet lay-up' glass fibre to 'pre-preg' carbon fibre, together with core materials and resin systems. The extensively illustrated, down-to-earth text will appeal to anyone who builds, repairs or develops competition cars or components, as well as to motorsport enthusiasts who seek a better understanding of composite materials.

Format:Hardcover
It's a good book for introducing on composites, specially if you want to DIY. It's focused on fabrication of composites, not in the designing area. If you want to learn how to design a monocoque or even other simple pieces it's not your book but if you want to make your own pieces or introducing in composites manufacturing It would be a good reading. The first chapter has a good approximation to theoretical aspects of monocoques but without a higher level, also is easy to read and understand, even if you haven't a engineering background.
