Structural Composite Materials

Abstract

The use of composite materials now a days designs new paradigm for all kinds of applications specially honours in 3 categories of transport systems such as roads, navy and flight vehicles which accommodates its integral usage in majority of the components that are built -in. Recent investigations also highlight the role of these light weight structures in energy harvesting and storage systems. This book chapter discuss about the various wide spread applications of all the core sectors of engineering which indulge the rigid structures which majorly corelates the structural and functional requirements. The present section also high light the case study on several applications including Aerospace and automotive and marine structures which depicts the resonance of utilizing different constituents which plays key role in performing the specific functions. The property derived application areas clearly gives the research spotlight on developing novel materials which intern found to be a better alternative for existing applications which demands for the availability of resources and process parameters. Hence this section also highlights the utilization of locally available resources as fillers to modify the matrix system and more likely to use for particular applications for which the specific properties are improved.
