Abstract :
Polymer composites-lightweight, strong, and energy-efficient materials-offer significant advantages to durable-goods manufacturers and to performance-driven markets such as the aerospace industry. In describing a knowledge-based architecture they´ve developed for automating the design of such materials, the authors trace the evolution of their approach to polymer composites design
