In composites design, the symmetric or balanced laminate, consisting of four fixed angles of unidirectional layers, has been the choice of designers for years because of its metal-like behavior.

The “Lego-like” construction and analysis method proposed in the study enables fast and accurate virtual testing of composite laminates, leading to optimal designs while saving time and ...

Composite laminates, consisting of bonded layers of different materials, find extensive applications in various industries, including aerospace, automobiles, and shipbuilding sectors due to their ...

and “Additive manufacturing: Can you print a car?” under "Editor's Picks" at top right.) If you look at the composites industry, one can claim that laminated composites are the original AM technology.

Conventional composites structures (hereby denoted as monolithic composites) are manufactured by stacking several plies together forming a laminate. In aircraft primary structures, carbon fibre as the ...

The Laminate Analysis Program can be used to analyze any type of composite laminate subjected to in-plane loads and moments; and since a flat laminate has no fixed size, the analysis can be ...

In both the men’s and women’s K1 and Squirt boat classes, top podium positions were gained by 11 of the 12 winning competitors paddling custom made composite kayaks from Murky Water Paddling Supplies ...
