Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A fiber-reinforced composite material ( 11 ) is constructed by laminating a plurality of fiber bundle layers formed of a reinforced fiber to form a laminated fiber bundle layer and further impregnating the laminated fiber bundle layer with a matrix. At either side of a neutral surface ( 16 ), the number of +θ layers which are fiber bundle layers having a fiber orientation angle of +θ and the number of −θ layers which are fiber bundle layers having a fiber orientation angle of −θ are the same, the order of laminating the fiber bundle layers is inversely symmetrical with respect to the standard surface, and the number of other fiber bundle layers disposed between the +θ and −θ layers at either side of the standard surface is the same.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A fiber-reinforced composite material constructed by impregnating a laminated fiber bundle layer formed by laminating a plurality of fiber bundle layers formed of reinforced fibers with a matrix, wherein the reinforced fibers comprise +θ layers that are fiber bundle layers having a fiber orientation angle of +θ, −θ layers that are fiber bundle layers having a fiber orientation angle of −θ, and other fiber bundle layers, wherein, on each side of a standard surface, the number of +θ layers and the number of −θ layers are the same, wherein the order of laminating the fiber bundle layers is inversely symmetrical with respect to the standard surface, and wherein the number of other fiber bundle layers disposed between the +θ and −θ layers at either side of the standard surface is the same. 2. The fiber-reinforced composite material according to claim 1 , wherein the numbers of the +θ layers and −θ layers existing on each side of the standard surface are respectively two, and wherein, as the order of laminating the fiber bundle layers, the two −θ layers are disposed between the two +θ layers at one side of the standard surface, and the two +θ layers are disposed between the two −θ layers at the other side. 3. The fiber-reinforced composite material according to claim 1 , wherein θ is 45°. 4. The fiber-reinforced composite material according to claim 1 , wherein the +θ layers constitute one pair of two layers, and wherein the −θ layers constitute one pair of two layers. 5. The fiber-reinforced composite material according to claim 1 , wherein the fiber-reinforced composite material constitutes a structure having a flat-plate like skin and one or more webs extending vertically to the skin. 6. The fiber-reinforced composite material according to claim 1 , wherein the fiber bundle layers are composed of a unidirectional fabric. 7. The fiber-reinforced composite material according to claim 3 , wherein the other fiber bundle layers are fiber bundle layers having a fiber orientation angle of 0° or 90°, and wherein the fiber bundle layers having a fiber orientation angle of 0° or 90° are composed of a plain weave fabric or twill fabric. 8. The fiber-reinforced composite material according to claim 4 , wherein the +θ layers is a fiber bundle layer having a fiber orientation angle of +36° and a fiber bundle layer having a fiber orientation angle of +72°, and wherein the −θ layers is a fiber bundle layer having a fiber orientation angle of −36° and a fiber bundle layer having a fiber orientation angle of −72°.
