Abstract

The potentiat applications for fiber-reinforced-polymers (FRP) composites in aircraft structures will expand as higher modulus reinforcing materials are available at lower cost. Improved composites can be fabricated from blends of glass and higher modulus fibers to yield greater performance at moderate cost. The fatigue properties of FRP, especially with non-woven reinforcement, are superior to most other engineering materials.
