Abstract

Advanced composite materials, e. g. carbon fiber reinforced polymeric matrices, have found wide-scale application in the sporting goods and aerospace markets. Application of composites to sporting goods is based on the material’s lightness, strength, weather resistance, and dimensional stability [1]. The prime driver for aerospace composites applications is the ability to reduce mass, hence, save weight, by tailoring designs and materials to achieve structure which is resistant to failure under in-service loads and environments [2].
