Abstract
Fiber reinforced resin composites formed of basic ply blankets is disclosed. The method of the invention uses design criteria, namely fiber orientation and fiber percentages in each orientation direction, to create a basic ply blanket having the same fiber orientation and percentage relationship. Specifically, a basic ply blanket comprises a plurality of plies, one in each fiber orientation direction. The fiber magnitude proportion that each blanket ply bears to the fiber magnitude of the blanket is based on the design criteria fiber proportion. The thickness of the basic ply blanket is divided into the design thickness at various locations and the results used to determine the number of blankets needed to meet the thickness requirement of the fiber reinforced resin composite at such locations. Basic ply blankets are then stacked to create the required thickness.
