ABSTRACT:
A composite structure is provided. In another aspect of the present invention, a composite structure has relative layer-to-layer fiber orientations of between approximately 5° and 15°, inclusive. A further aspect of the present invention employs relative fiber offset angles less than 30° on a curved section. Yet another aspect of the present invention provides a three-dimensionally woven configuration where the first sheet is interwoven or mechanically linked with both the adjacent second layer and the opposite third or deeper layer.
