5、er.1.3 The materials covered by this guide include fibers,bothcontinuous and discontinuous,and fillers of various geometrieswhich are used as reinforcements in composite materials,aswell as core materials used in sandwich composites.Cores maybe foam,honeycomb,or naturally occurring materials such as
6、balsa wood.These materials are distinguished from bulkmaterials by the importance of their specialized geometricforms to their properties.This difference is reflected in the useof geometry,along with chemistry,as a primary basis forclassification.Identification of composite materials is dis-cussed i
