Research Abstract |
It is urgently needed to save the limited oil resources by introducing the airplane and automobile structures with significantly lighter weight, and the advanced fiber reinforced composites (FRP) are most promising for the purpose. This project proposed a new technological idea that curved reinforcing fibers in composites are optimally distributed to meet the locally required mechanical demands. A group of analytical methods and optimum design methods have been successfully developed, and their effectiveness has been proved also by the experimental approach.
