Answer 1

Laminar composite.

Composites can be defined as a structure that has a different composition at different structural layer. The composite as various classification but one of the most prominent type of compass composites are laminar composites. Laminar composites consists of several layers of different materials stacked together to form a single structure. The best example for lamina composite is plywood. In plywood there are two dimensional sheets stacked one above the other with added adhesives between them to hold the sheets together to form a single panel of plywood. Laminar composite directional strength properties that can be used in various applications where the lateral stresses are higher.

Structural composites.

structural composite three-dimensional fibres start together with adhesive as a matrix. the best example for structural composite are concrete which as various components in three dimensional stacking. Allowing the structure to have a specific properties required. And structural composite do not have layers but they have fibers that are held my a binding material. Concrete is a best example for structure composite, where there is a core made of steel fibers or rods, along with a mixture of sand, cement and gravel. This structural composite will are most often used where the loads are acting in various directions.
