Abstract
Trajectorial fibre steering of composite tows within composite laminates has been investigated as a means of producing composite structures with increased strength. Strategies to design the fibre trajectories in laminates have included aligning the fibres with principal stress vectors and a newly developed concept of load paths. In the laminate, the steered plies were inter-mingled with unidirectional or fabric plies. A manufacturing technique for the steered plies has been proposed. Applications include a specimen containing an open hole and a specimen with a pin-loaded hole. Specific strength increases of 62 and 85%, respectively, were achieved.
