<p>This second edition of Professor Hoa s Principles of the Manufacturing of Composite Materials textbook adds valuable explanations of automated processes for fabricating specialized composites to his step-by-step presentation in the first edition of traditional methods used throughout the composite industry. Emerging automated and semi-automated methods are presented in detail, including out-of-autoclave, thermostamping, and automated fiber placement (AFP). In addition, novel composites, especially conductive composites for active applications, are more fully described, and special attention is given to design and fabrication with polymer nanocomposites. This second edition keeps and updates helpful teaching elements from the original, such as a clear introduction to the materials science of composites, reasons for what makes composite manufacturing different, step-by step overview of products during processing, practical design details, and exercises based on real-world problems. A unique feature of this edition is an explanation of the 4D printing technique, which combines additive manufacturing and shape configuration into a unified process.</p>

Selected papers from those presented at the Automated Composites Manufacturing 4th International Symposium form this proceedings of original research. The book presents technologies for emergent robotic and computer-controlled fabrication of CFRP, woven, and other types of composite materials. Information is provided on how lay-up and heating are carried out by specially designed equipment and how these processes are controlled with real-time data from sensors. Details are given on robotic process control, flaw detection, quality engineering, and inspection, as well as on new types of laminates and composites made possible by advanced automation. International research in the text is based on work done at universities and R&D centers in countries including Germany, U.S., and Canada.
