Higher, further, faster! These three adjectives perfectly describe the demands placed on scientists developing technical products in recent decades. In order to meet these requirements, there is an increasing need for computer-aided pre-development and the use of advanced manufacturing technologies, such as lightweight construction with fibre composite components. This interaction between pre-development and manufacturing is the central theme of this book. It deals with the process chain of a fibre-reinforced, thermosetting composite component, starting with the determination of the most important process parameters in the first section, through simulation and infusion, to the finished end product. It also includes a detailed comparison of the simulation results with real-life tests. Dear readers, this book gives you an overview of what the development process chain of the future could look like.
