โฆ Synopsis
In this Paper the use of fibre composites in satellites is investigated. The strength and stiffness ratios of carbon and glass fibre composites are discussed. Testing and applications of the composites in specific satellites are reported.

Carbon fibres are used for increasing the strength and stiffness of polymers and the strength of metals and ceramics. These improvements depend on the transfer of stress from the matrix (polymer, metal or ceramic) to the fibres across the interface. Thus, the interface, or rather, the thin inte~hasi
An investigation of thermal expansion in fibre composites is presented. Unidirectional and angle-plied composites are studied, and both theoretical and experimental results are given. Estimations of thermal stresses and strains are presented.
