Warping of precise composite-material (graphite-fiber/epoxy-matrix) laminated panels reduced, according to proposal, by improved combination of design and method of fabrication. Essence of proposal to stack plies during fabrication in such pattern that effects of unavoidable ply-orientation errors in individual layers cancel each other out, on whole, in final product. Emerged from study of warping of composite-material laminated face sheets undergoing development for use as lightweight substrates for precise, curved mirrors in submillimeter-wave astronomical telescopes and optical communication systems.
