Steve, come on now, we all know you just posted so you could quote the "laminated dog crap" line,, sheesh
basically the definition for a composite structure is the combination of two dissimilar materials used to create a matrix which takes advantage of the best of each materials properties,,
or according to Wiki-know-it all,,
composite materials are,,,, engineered or naturally occurring materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties which remain separate and distinct at the macroscopic or microscopic scale within the finished structure.
oddly enough no mention of laminated dog crap or even multilayered dog crap,, was listed,, there was not even any mention of dog crap in a paper bag on the porch lit on fire,, perhaps you should do your civic duty in your retirement time, and update the wikipedia definition to more accuretly define this?
