Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics

A load dependent and curvilinear respectively variable-axial fibre design can notably enhance the strength and stiffness of lightweight components compared to fibre reinforced structures made of common multiaxial fibre textiles. At the Leibniz-Institut für Polymerforschung Dresden e. V. (IPF) special design strategies are in the focus of current studies. Two currently developed components made of carbon fibre reinforced plastics, a lightweight three-legged stool and a lightweight recurve bow riser, are described within this paper.
