Chassis Plates
Curious if anyone here has analyzed the layups of a broken chassis plate? I ask since I have a have worked aerospace composites for a while and was curious if the different brands all use similar layups or do they have proprietary carbon sheets.
My oem L4 took a wack so I kind of studied it a little but not enough to make it unrepairable. Seems like they are stacking double plys together with a scrim between each paired set.
This seemed suprising as the same type methods were used in the early days by Composite Craft. I would think the technology would be further than this after 15 years.
And why does everyone use a plain weave fabric? At least that's all I've noticed. So many other choices.
