Tooling for Composite Aerospace Structures: Manufacturing and Applications offers a comprehensive discussion on the design, analysis, manufacturing and operation of tooling that is used in the lamination of composite materials and assembly. Chapters cover general topics, the materials that are typically used for tooling, design aspects and recommendations on how to approach the design, and what engineers need to consider, including examples of designs and their pros and cons, how to perform these type of details, and the methods of inspection needed to ensure quality control. The book concludes with an outlook on the industry and the future. Covers the entire lifecycle of tool design, starting with a discussion on composite materials and ending with new concepts and material Introduces aspects of how to use modeling and simulation for tooling with detailed examples and validation data Offers a list of materials and where they should be used depending on the application
