All of the following are advantages of composites over aluminium EXCEPT

  • A.Properties tailorable by choice of layup
  • B.Freedom from corrosion of the laminate itself
  • C.Easier inspection and repair
  • D.Higher specific stiffness along the fibres

Answer: C

Correct answer: Easier inspection and repair

Inspection and repair are harder with composites, not easier: damage may be internal and invisible, ultrasonic or thermographic methods are needed to find it, and a repair means a scarfed and re-cured patch rather than a riveted doubler. The other three are genuine advantages - tailorable properties, freedom from corrosion of the laminate itself, and higher specific stiffness along the fibres.
