fiberscontinue
Fiberscontinue is a term used in materials science and engineering to describe the deliberate continuation of reinforcing fibers across discontinuities within a composite or textile structure, such as joints, seams, or holes, in order to maintain mechanical continuity throughout the component.
The term has appeared in conference abstracts and design guides since the early 2020s as engineers seek
The core idea is to extend fiber paths through interfaces so that load transfer and stiffness are
When implemented, fiberscontinue can reduce stress concentrations, improve fatigue life, and enhance impact tolerance. Potential applications
Challenges include manufacturing complexity, quality control of continuity, potential for fiber misalignment, and increased processing time
