3 How Many Data Points? In netting analysis that is applied to pressure vessels and pipes, fiber strength is the one and only design validation calculated from burst pressure: the answer is one Carbon fibers are known to be anisotropic but we know only the longitudinal fiber stiffness and strength: the answer is one as before, plus one for stiffness With trace, laminates become universal
