provides readers with the information needed to design, develop and manufacture high components via an RTM route and provides a framework which readers can use to place their endeavours within an industrial context. Readers are presented with information to give them an understanding of the scientific and theoretical background to RTM, thereby giving them an understanding of the major constraints on the process. This background is then built on by an in-depth consideration of the technological details that are required to utilise the process effectively. To achieve all this the book presents detailed sections on all the essential topics in RTM finishing with a case study. simplifies the introduction of RTM technology into organizations wishing to benefit from the opportunities it brings, by gathering together all the necessary information in a single volume.
