Ive been working in the composite industry for over seven years and served my apprenticeship in the boatbuilding industry using mainly pre preg and hand lay up techniques. Since moving to a company where you have a bit more artistic liscense, I would like to improve my knowledge on composite materials so I can start making my own decisions and knowing what to use and when. Things like minimum and maximum overlaps, staggers, weave structural properties, material structural properties. So if anyone knows of any reading materials or websites that could help I would really appreciate it.
Cheers
