Über dieses Buch

This book covers topics related to developing natural-fiber composite products during the conceptual design stage in the product development process. It describes the concurrent engineering methods and tools applied in natural-fiber composite product development and discusses the major conceptual design activities, such as geometrical conceptual design development and selection, materials selection and manufacturing process selection. The book also includes case studies with illustrations on the related conceptual design aspects of developing natural-fiber composite products to provide designers with practical guidance on applying the selected tool for their project.

Chapter 1. Overview on Development of Natural Fiber Composite Products
Abstract
Composites consist of two or more constituent materials, mainly fiber reinforcements and matrices, bonded together, as a result better properties are obtained in the final composites compared to the constituent materials. However, the constituent materials retained their unique attributes. Composite materials or composites are the materials of choice in many engineering application. They are used in various industries such as automotive, building and construction, aerospace, telecommunication, furniture and marine industries.

Chapter 2. Conceptual Design Development
Abstract
In the modern design, conceptual design is an important activity in the design process, it is constantly being emphasized that incorrect conceptual design may lead to expansive rework and problem that may happen after the product is fabricated.

Chapter 3. Materials Selection
Abstract
Materials selection is an activity normally carried out design engineers to select the best materials for a particular component. To select the most suitable composite materials, a materials selection system is used to the candidate materials from different types of composite materials that are satisfying all the materials selection requirements, such as strength, stiffness, cost and aesthetics.

Chapter 4. Manufacturing Process Selection
Abstract
Another important aspect in NFC product development is manufacturing or processing stage, apart from the product design and materials selection. Similarly to materials selection stage, the manufacturing of NFC product is crucial to obtain successful transformation of the NFC raw materials into the intended final product shape and achieving the final product quality in term of functionality and appearance.

Chapter 5. Conclusions
Abstract
In overall, the book has showcased how NFC products can be developed during the initial stage in the product development process using systematic concurrent engineering tools. There are huge potential of utilizing NFC as the candidate material for producing various products due to the advantages of renewability, recyclability, biodegradability and low raw material cost especially as replacement to conventional synthetic composites. Nevertheless, the challenges present are dimensional instability and low mechanical properties, which restrict their current application for low load bearing applications. However, as demonstrated throughout this book, the limitations can be overcome through adaptation of innovative product design process, particularly during the early stage of the NFC product development process.
