Thank you for the videos. I love them. I have a question. Could be a topic of a video actually. I need to infuse a large flat part 24"×48". If I need it symmetrical and balanced to resist warping during cure then I need minimum of 8 layers using unidirectional (0, 90, +45, -45, core, -45, +45, 90, 0) if I'm understanding correctly. If I need to reduce the cost can I create a balanced but not symmetrical part and would it still resist warping? Say with minimum of 4 layerd (0, +45, core, -45, 90)? And how this compare to creating balanced and symmetrical only in the 0 and 90 directions for example (0,90, core, 90, 0)? Is the priority symmetry or balance to resist warping? I appreciate your time to answer this. You should include some contact information somewhere. Great videos 👍

do you know any alternatives to nomex or aluminium core materials?
@thecarbonfibernation2 ай бұрын
It really does depend on your use case. I am posting a video today about an alternative type of structure that does not include core but accomplishes the same task.

So, my understanding is in order to have a balanced piece, you need always to have an even number of layers, is it?
@thecarbonfibernation4 ай бұрын
Short answer is no. You would just end up using the middle layer as your center point. So if you had a 5 ply layup for example you would be able to have: 1) 0/90 2) ±45 3) 0/90 4) ±45 5) 0/90 It gets a bit tricky if you aren't using woven twill and are used more unidirectional material or a core structure. But that's for a different video 😉

What would be the best layout for fibres on a helicopter stabiliser?
@thecarbonfibernation4 ай бұрын
Unfortunately the amount of engineering required on that is a bit out if my scope. But knowing that the strength from carbon fiber is linear I would imagine a lot of unidirectional reinforcement would be required in the direction of load. I was once part of a project to make a robotic arm (like those used on a Mars rover) and eventhough it was mostly just a shroud, it still required an incredibly specific layup with carefully calculated angles of unidirectional fibers. But had a few layers of woven 2x2 twill on the outside and inside surfaces to tie it all together.

What would be a balanced layup if we have a core material in between,will we follow the same balancing technique?
@thecarbonfibernation8 ай бұрын
When determining a balanced layup you should consider the core to be the mid point. So imagine a layup that is 4 layers, 2 before the core and 2 after the core. Example could be if using a 2x2 woven twill. Layer 1: 0/90 Layer 2: ±45 Core Layer Layer 3: ±45 Layer 4: 0/90 This is a guideline but depending on the use case you may not need to have it balanced. But I would recommend it. Edit: I have made several non structural cover panels that have been 'unbalanced' with in the above case only having 1 layer covering the core. So it really depends on the use case.
