Engineers frequently specify high stiffness or strength, but are not willing to pay the weight penalty. Enter composite materials. At KVE Composites Group designs are optimised by tuning the fiber direction or fiber type.

The low weight and high stiffness of composites lead to higher eigenfrequencies than metals can achieve. Apart from the high stiffness-to-weight ratio of composite materials, fatigue is often not an issue. Internal damping of the composite materials is an extra advantage in machine constructions.
