MULTI-AXIAL LAMINATE COMPOSITE STRUCTURES AND METHODS OF FORMING THE SAME

摘要

Composite laminate structures and methods of forming the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the structure includes a first bidirectional layer (112) having a first portion (117) that includes parallel reinforcement fibers oriented at a first angle relative to a first direction and a second portion (114) that includes parallel reinforcement fibers oriented at a second angle relative to the first direction. The structure further includes a second bidirectional layer (118) having a first portion (119) that includes parallel reinforcement fibers oriented at a third angle relative to the first direction and a second portion (120) that includes parallel reinforcement fibers oriented at a fourth angle relative to the first direction. At least one unidirectional (116) layer having a plurality of parallel reinforcement fibers is coupled to at least one of the first bidirectional layer and the second bidirectional layer.
