1. Indicate three main functions provided by the matrix in a composite material.
Indicate the main function provided by the fiber in a composite material.
2. Indicate the four most common manufacturing processes for making components using Advanced Thermoset Composite Materials. For each process, indicate which sector of the industry that the process is used the most. Give a reason why this is so.
3. Indicate in what way Manufacturing using Advanced Composites is different from the Manufacturing using metals.
4. Why is wetting of the fibers important? What are the two most important aspects that affect wetting of the fibers?
5. Using the square packing array, show that the interfiber spacing is given by:
