binedwithlowdensity,allowingforweightreductioninthefinishedpart.Thevarious
types of composites are usually referred in the literature, as a block diagram, as
depicted in Fig. 1.1. In this chapter, when we are discussing a composite material,
werestrictourselvestocontinuousfibers(reinforcements)beingembeddedinthema-
trix in theform of an adequateglue.
Examples of such continuous reinforcements include unidirectional, woven cloth,
and helical winding (see Fig. 1.2). Continuous-fiber composites are often made into
laminates by stacking single sheets of continuous fibers in different orientations to
obtain the desired strength and stiffness properties with fiber volumes as high as
60%e70%.Fibersproducehigh-strengthcompositesbecauseoftheirsmalldiameter;

theycontainfarfewerdefects(normallysurfacedefects)comparedtothematerialpro-
ducedin bulk. In addition, because oftheirsmall diameter the fibers areflexible and
suitable for complicated manufacturing processes, such as small radii or weaving.
Materials such as glass, graphite, carbon, and aramid are used to produce fibers (see
typical properties in Table 1.1). The present usage of composite materials is mainly
drivenby theaerospacesector,with alarge percentageofthe modern airplane struc-
tures, such as Boeing 787 or Airbus A380 (see Fig. 1.3), being manufactured from
carbon,glass,andaramidfibers.Themainmaterialforthematrixisapolymer,which
haslowstrengthandstiffness.Themainfunctionsofthematrixaretokeepthefibersin
properorientationandspacingandtoprotectthefiberfromabrasionandtheenviron-
ment.Inpolymermatrixcomposites,thegoodandstrongbondbetweenthematrixand
thereinforcementallowsthematrixtotransmittheoutsideloadsfromthematrixtothe
fibersthroughshearloadingattheinterface.Two typesofpolymermatricesareavail-
able: thermosets and thermoplastics. A thermoset starts as a low-viscosity resin that
reacts and cures during processing, forming a solid. A thermoplastic is a high-
viscosity resin that is processed by heating it above its melting temperature. Because
athermosetresinsetsupandcuresduringprocessing,itcannotbereprocessedbyreheat-
ing. A thermoplastic can be reheated above its melting temperature for additional
processing.
