About this document
Disadvantages of Composite Materials by Eswara Reddy is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses composite materials used in aircraft structures. Composite materials are a combination of two or more materials to form a new material with improved properties. They are made of a reinforcement material like carbon fiber, glass fiber, or Kevlar in a matrix like epoxy. Composites provide benefits over metal structures like higher strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and tailorability. However, they are more brittle, sensitive to manufacturing defects, and have higher costs.
