Variable-stiffness laminates that have fiber orientation variation across its planform can be manufactured using advanced placement technology. For such laminates, successive passes of the head often overlap resulting in thickness build-up. If a constant is desired, tows will cut at course boundary, which result small triangular resin-rich areas without any fibers. In this article theoretical, numerical investigation influence these tow-drop on strength and stiffness variable-stiffness...

The characterization of the strength and fracture toughness three common structural fibres, E-glass, AS4 carbon Kevlar KM2, is presented in this work. notched specimens were prepared by means selective carving individual fibres focused ion beam. A straight-fronted edge notch was introduced a plane perpendicular to fibre axis, with relative depth being a0/D≈0.1 radius at tip approximately 50 nm. selection appropriate beam current during milling operations performed avoid as much possible any...
