Use of pultruded carbon fiber / epoxy inserts as reinforcement in composite structures
As polymer matrix composite based structures such as wind turbine blades get larger in span, the required stiffness is usually supplied by the increasing thickness. The fabrication of current composite thicknesses is expensive in terms of labor, mechanical components and fabrication time. The proble...
