Aircraft and space vehicle structures are performance structures. Because of their light weight
and high strength, composites are potential candidates for these structures [1]. They are widely
used in secondary structures and are currently making their way into aircraft primary structures
such as wings and fuselage components (Boeing 787 Dreamliner, Airbus A380 aircrafts, and
many military aircraft (F-22, F-35)). While space vehicles are behind in the use of composites,
composites are considered attractive alternatives to metallic structures. When new materials are
considered for structural applications, one of the first issues to confront would be the
requirements for these structures and structural components [2].are performance structures. Because of their light weight
