Fabric, Woven—A generic material construction consisting of interlaced yarns or fibres, usually a planar structure, in a fabric lamina, the warp direction is considered to be the longitudinal direction, analogous to the filament direction in a filamentary lamina. 

Filamentary composite A reinforced-plastic structure in which the reinforcement consists of filaments usually oriented to most efficiently withstand the stresses imposed on the structure. The filaments are not woven and in a single lamina they will all be parallel. Wallenberger FT, Weston NE (eds) (2003) Natural fibers, plastics and composites. Springer-Verlag, New York. 

In the first case [28], a tapered lap joint was considered having two CPRP composite laminate thick bars as adherents. The shape and dimension of the specimen is given in Pigure 1(a). Total thickness of the laminate is 10 mm The laminate is made of woven (W) and unidirectional (UD) laminae of CP and epoxy matrix having the stacking sequence of [45w / O5 ud / (0/452/ O2/ 452/ 0)w / O5 UD /45w]. The adopted adhesive was the 3M Scotch-Weld 9323 B/A bi-component epoxy. 

Balanced construction In woven RPs, equal parts of warp and fill fibers exist. Construction in which reactions to tension and compression loads result in extension or compression deformations only, and which in flexural loads produce pure bending of equal magnitude in axial and lateral directions. It is an RP in which all laminae at angles other than 0° and 90° occur in pairs (not necessarily adjacent) and are symmetrical around the central line. 

To assess the possibilities of reinforcing MIP with long fibres, a series of jute reinforced laminates with MIP matrix was fabricated. The used jute consisted of an orthogonal woven mat with a surface density of approximately 210 g/m. Two parallel laminae of this mat were used as reinforcement for the MIP, resulting in an orthotropic (E = E2) laminate with a thickness of 2.2 mm, and a volume content of fibres of Vf = 0.17. 

Lamina (layer, ply) The arrangement of unidirectional or multidirectional fibers in a matrix to form a thin layer is called a layer, ply, or lamina of composite material. In general, several such layers are bonded together, with layer orientations chosen to form a single multilayered sheet having optimum material performance characteristics tailored for specific loading and environmental conditions. Three common types of lamina are unidirectional, woven, and random mat shown schematically in Figure 8.1.
