Resin Transfer Molding and other similar "liquid molding" manufacturing methods have been used to make non-structural composites for the last 30 years. However, since 1993 these methods have become the subject of interest by aerospace manufacturing companies. This book describes all aspects of the subject of Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) for aerospace structures. Covering the process from theoretical modelling to "hands-on" practical experience, this book is a guide for those not directly involved in, or currently learning the resin transfer molding process, as well as those currently in the RTM industry. Subjects including manufacturing, tooling, fabric design, and flow modelling are all covered which should make this a valuable source for anyone involved in the RTM and aerospace manufacturing. This book should be of interest to R&D groups and fabricating groups in aerospace and related companies; R&D groups in mechanical engineering, production engineering, materials, departments at universities; and automotive and other industrial companies.
