The introduction of the advanced tow-placement machines has made it possible to fabricate repeatable high quality fiber-reinforced composite structures with spatially varying fiber orientations. Changing the fiber orientation angle within the lamina produces fiber paths that influence the stiffness distribution, hence these layers have variable-stiffness properties. Contrary to traditional composites with straight fibers that provide uniform directional properties, this method allows the designer to fully benefit from the distributed directional material properties of the composite to improve laminate performance.
