Abstract
A shear-resistant Z-axis fiber-reinforced composite laminate structure includes a core material; an upper laminate; a lower laminate; and a plurality of contiguous cured resin Z-axis fiber bundles disposed in the core material between the upper laminate and the lower laminate to form high moment-of-inertia solid composite structural elements in the core material.
