SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Fiber reinforced composite materials have been used increasingly in primary and secondary structures in such applications as aircraft, satellites, automobiles, biomedical industries, marine, and sporting goods. This growth is due primarily to the characteristics of composite materials, which include high specific stiffness, high specific (fix letter spacing entire dissertation) strength, and low density. Both carbon and glass fibers are often used as reinforcing fibers, embedded in polymer matrix material. The glass fibers are inexpensive, have high strength to weight ratio, but low stiffness. Carbon fiber is more expensive, but have a high strength to weight ratio and high stiffness.
