Simon McBeathCompetition Car Composites: A Practical Handbook (Revised 2nd Edition)

Great book, very informative and is good to sanity check the stuff you read on the internet.

A good introductional and informative handbook for beginer to amature body shop or individual people. It covers a good amount of automotive composite body part making.

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.

Great product and customer service I would highly recommend, Many Thanks

Amazing book, receive it on time and in perfect condition

Tamanho livro ruim.A apresentação ficou desmerecida com letras muito pequenas para um livro técnicoPoderia ser maior com a mesma formataçãoTecnicamente é bastante interessante.Atende parcialmente a proposição

Where do I start composites in the automotive industry is relatively new (compared to metal working, etc.) and still requires a great deal of talent and sometimes money. I have always wondered how exactly people were able to make the things they did out of composites. There are nice pictures and explanations that show almost step by step of the different methods of creating composite parts. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about how they manufacture formula 1 survival cells and carbon fiber wings. The go over carbon fiber, kevlar, fibreglass, and aramid fiber construction. They show strength tables and relative benefits, weaknesses, and costs. I know a medium amount about carbon fiber molding but I feel good in saying I still learned quite a bit from this book.

Die Grundlagen zu Fasern, Matrix und Verbund findet man in anderen Büchern besser (z.B. Ehrenstein) aber ausreichend.Aber dies ist wie es der Buchtitel schon sagt ein praktisches Handbuch, entsprechend fast es die langfährige praktische Erfahrung des Autors zusammen und gibt wertvolle praktische Tipps zur Verarbeitung und Fertigung der Faserverbundbauteile.Vor allem beim Formenbau, welcher ganz besonders von Erfahrungen profitiert, ist es hilfreich.

Great and educational book
