Applications
|
|
IsoTruss® composite grid structures can be employed in almost
any structural application. Civil infrastructure examples range
from lightweight, pre-assembled, three-dimensional
reinforcement for concrete structures to stand alone structural
columns. Exciting
aerospace
applications range from efficient aircraft
structures to rigid, lightweight satellite structures. |

Example Applications |
|
|
|
For many
structural applications, IsoTruss® composite grid structures offer a major improvement in structural performance
relative to more conventional composite configurations, such
as traditional shell or sandwich structures. Composite
grid structures take full advantage of the mechanical
properties of continuous fiber composite materials by creating
open structures that orient bundles of unidirectional fiber in
the primary load paths.
