Abstract
A composite laminate, method of forming same, and use for same are disclosed. One example of a composite laminate has multiple layers or plies (A-E) composed of generally parallel reinforcing fibers (A-E) embedded in a matrix (M). The reinforcing fibers have orientations in the ranges of 3 to 8 degrees, −3 to −8 degrees, 10 to 40 degrees, −10 to −40 degrees, and approximately 90 degrees, the orientations being with respect to a predetermined axis (), such as an axis of tension (T). A method of manufacturing a composite laminate includes laying a resin and fibers having these orientations and then curing the resulting laminate. One example of a use is for the skin on the fuselage or wing of an aircraft.
