Additive Manufacturing of Continuous Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites the additive manufacturing of continuous fiber reinforced polymer composites (CFRPCs), discussing their mechanical behavior, manufacture, structure, performance, and application. The raw materials involved, manufacturing processes for specific CFRPCs (thermoplastic, thermosetting, self-reinforcing), modeling, design, and failure analysis of these materials are each covered at length. An entire chapter is dedicated to their performance based on their structure and design, with lightweight composite structure, shape-morphing composite structure, and electromagnetic wave manipulating structure each studied. Embedded sensing by CFRPCs, mechanical metamaterials, and the applications of CFRPCs in aerospace, consumer products, and industrial tooling are each covered as well.
