Practice:
Composites must be considered as unique materials in the design and manufacturing process because manufacturing equipment, tooling, and inspection equipment and processes have a pronounced effect on design. Since the material is formulated while the part is being built; (1) multidisciplinary, concurrent engineering design principles and (2) careful material selection and fabrication processes must be used to obtain optimum properties in aerospace composites.
