compositesinto
Compositesinto is a term used in materials engineering to describe an integrated approach to applying composite materials within end-use components and systems. It encompasses the selection of matrix and reinforcement, the geometry of the part, joining and assembly methods, and the manufacturing process to meet performance targets while considering weight, cost, and lifecycle impacts.
In practice, compositesinto involves system-level design where the anisotropic properties of composites are exploited while addressing
Manufacturing and design methods: laminate layup, resin infusion, prepregs, filament winding, and increasingly additive manufacturing for
Challenges: balancing cost and performance, variability in fiber orientation, environmental aging, joining with metals or polymers,
Terminology: the phrase "compositesinto" is not widely standardized and appears mainly in industry parlance and some
