Dr. Evren Yasa graduated with her degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Istanbul Technical University and completed her master's degree at the University of British Columbia on volumetric error modeling and compensation. She received her Ph.D. degree with the thesis on 'Combined Process of Selective Laser Melting and Selective Laser Erosion/Laser Re-melting' at the Catholic University of Leuven, for which she was awarded the 'Emerald Outstanding Doctoral Study-Highly commended' award. After her Ph.D. study, she worked as a senior engineer at TEI, a GE-joint venture company specializing in manufacturing aero-engine parts, where she led Additive Manufacturing projects. Later, she joined Eskisehir Osmangazi University as an assistant professor. Moreover, she has been working as an independent expert in laser-based manufacturing on behalf of the European Commission in Horizon 2020 projects.

In product development, decisions taken in design and manufacturing are considered the most influential factors for succeeding commercialisation. Product development is a complex integrated process of several steps starting from design where the market needs are identified and turned into competitive product specifications and different design concepts. In other words, design is about identifying a problem, developing solution proposals, and validating the most feasible solution with real users. Manufacturing technologies, on the other hand, help designers to make those virtual models into physical parts by transforming different types of raw materials. This book on design and manufacturing, written by a number of experts from all over the world, presents a design perspective and different manufacturing applications from various industrial sectors.

Additive Manufacturing of Polymer Matrix Composites

By Evren Yasa and Kıvılcım Ersoy

Due to the developments and the interest of leading aerospace companies, additive manufacturing (AM) has become a highly discussed topic in the last decades. This is mainly due to its capability of producing parts with high geometrical complexity, short manufacturing lead times, and suitability for customization as well as for low-volume production. As is the case with aircraft fuselage body where weight reduction while keeping the demanding mechanical properties is of uttermost importance, modern technology applications sometimes need materials with unusual combinations of properties that cannot be solely provided by metals, polymers, or ceramics. In this case, composite materials combining two or more materials allow having the preferred properties in one material. Thus, AM of composites is becoming more and more important for critical applications. Fiber reinforcement can significantly enhance the properties of resins/polymeric matrix materials. Although continuous fiber composites even present higher mechanical performance, the manufacturing methods for chopped fibers are more commercially available. This chapter reviews the studies in the field involving many aspects spanning from design, process technology, and applications to available equipment.
