Part one introduces materials used in the creation of advanced FRP composites including polyester, vinylester and epoxy resins. Part two goes on to explore the processing and fabrication of advanced FRP composites and includes chapters on prepreg processing and filament winding processes. Part three highlights properties of advanced FRP composites and explores how performance can be managed and tested. Applications of advanced FRP composites, including bridge engineering, pipe rehabilitation in the oil and gas industry and sustainable energy production, are discussed in part four.
With its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors, Advanced fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for structural applications is a technical resource for researchers and engineers using advanced FRP composites, as well as professionals requiring an understanding of the production and properties of advanced FRP composites, and academics interested in this field.
Dr. Bai completed his PhD at University of Dundee. He has obtained extensive professional and academic experience in research, consultancy, learning and teaching. He has been actively involved in: developing, managing and undertaking research and knowledge transfer; successful research grant applications from research council (European Social Fund) and Welsh Government in collaboration with industrial partners; developing close international collaborations, including research projects, course development and student exchanges; and promoting, further developing and strengthening links with industry. Dr Bai specializes in sustainable materials, components, and structural systems, with emphasis on technical advances in sustainable materials and structural systems. His work has been broadly based within the field of concrete science, technology, structural systems, and computational optimization, involving research, consultancy, learning and teaching.
