Manufacturing of Composites

Manufacturing of Composites. Instructor: Dr. Janakranjan Ramkumar, Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Kanpur. Selecting manufacturing technique has emerged as one the paramount challenge in the field of composites. Composites are now being used in almost every field of industry, and students working in the area of the composites need to learn the basics, and progressive techniques of composites manufacturing. This course covers the important aspects of composites manufacturing: process selection guidelines, thermoset and thermoplastic Composites manufacturing processes, process parameters and characterizations. Applications and use of each manufacturing process is focused and this is represented separately. (from nptel.ac.in)
