I am happy to see discussion on this topic. I agree, primarily by the seat of
my pants, with Chris’ assessment. In my opinion, it’s not how much carbon or
glass fiber you have incorporated in a structural design, but rather how many
thin strategically placed layers or strips of carbon/glass are incorporated
and how much “glue” you have in between the carbon/glass to lock the matrix
together. In my mind, it would also be important as to which direction and to
what degree fibers are running, relative to the magnitude and motion or force
that is being resisted.
Hope to hear more about this soon.
