CONCLUSIONS

 Carbon fiber plates are thin, solid and

adaptable. They can be outlined and

 It has high solidness, high rigidity, low

 It has strength up to five circumstances

 It has more applications in structural
building, military, donning merchandise,
in medicinal, in car industry, and so forth
so utilization of carbon fiber in
development is constantly viable and give
high quality to the structure.
