Composite Materials for Technical Education
Process - Theory - Properties
Process - Theory - Properties
Used for onboarding, internal training and process standardization
One volume, three intertwined perspectives:
how composites are manufactured,
why they perform,
and what properties they deliver.
Spanning more than 500 pages, the book condenses what normally takes three separate texts—fully aligned with shop-floor practice and the latest research up to 2026.
Inside you’ll also unlock an exclusive QR-code that gives you immediate access to a downloadable composite-materials database (updated to 2026): high-fidelity mechanical-property tables ready for direct use in structural calculation and design with composites.
Gabriele Colaoni is a materials and astronautical engineer and a long-time composites practitioner whose work bridges the design office and the factory floor. Over more than twenty years he has supported programs in aerospace, motorsport, marine, and defense, among them Ferrari Formula 1 Team and the Porsche P3X pioneering initiative, guiding parts from laminate theory and simulation to tooling, qualification, and series production.
His expertise covers laminate architecture and failure analysis, plybook definition, process selection , and practical shop-floor workflows. As an educator and mentor, he focuses on giving students and young technicians the same decision tools used in industry: concise rules of thumb, checklists, and data that connect equations to real manufacturing steps.
This book grows out of that approach: a structured manual that pairs process know-how with laminate mechanics (ABD, criteria) and a QR-linked properties dataset so readers can move quickly from concept to reliable components.
