Abstract
A fiber reinforced composite structure includes multiple plies of pre-impregnated fiber reinforced material. Consecutive plies are layered such that the fibers of one ply are at 90 degrees relative to the fibers of a proximate ply, and such that the fibers of each ply are oriented at positive or negative 45 degrees with respect to a reference plane of the fiber reinforced composite structure. In a method for fabricating a fiber reinforced composite structure, pre-impregnated fiber reinforced composite plies are layered into a tool layup. Each ply is cut on the bias at either plus 45 degrees or minus 45 degrees. The bias angles of the layered plies alternate one relative to the next. The layered plies are cured after layering.
