Zusatztext "This book is an excellent contribution to the technical application of braided structures. The contents are well laid out and diversified. It features a variety of important topics concerning the structure! manufacture! properties! modeling! and applications of braids. It also includes excellent examples of the use of braided structures for the reinforcement of composite materials. ? The advantage of this book is that it covers the most important topics concerning braiding technology in one single volume. ? It is advised to students! researchers! and manufacturers concerned with braiding technology and its applications! including composite materials reinforcement."-Mario de Araujo! University of Minho! Guimarães! Portugal"To the best of my knowledge! braided reinforcements have received little previous coverage. ? This new publication could become the standard reference work for anyone interested in using these much-neglected reinforcement forms for high-performance composites."-Dr. John Summerscales! CEng! CEnv! CSci! University of Plymouth! UK Informationen zum Autor Sohel Rana is the scientific manager in the Fibrous Materials Research Group at the University of Minho! Guimarães! Portugal. He obtained his bachelor's degree in textile technology from University of Calcutta! India! and his master's degree and Ph.D in fiber science and technology from the Indian Institute of Technology! Delhi. Dr. Rana is the author of one book! more than 10 book chapters! two keynote papers! and more than 80 publications in various refereed journals and international conferences. Currently! he is editing four books on composites and nanomaterials. He is also an editorial board member and potential reviewer for numerous scientific journals.Raul Fangueiro is a professor and researcher in the School of Engineering at the University of Minho! Guimarães! Portugal. He is also the coordinator of the University of Minho's Fibrous Materials Research Group. He holds a Ph.D in textile engineering! has published more than 120 scientific articles in refereed journals! has presented more than 350 communications in international conferences! and is the author and co-author of 14 technical books and 12 patents.
