So I'm thinking of project where one might use a .063" piece of aluminum of about 5" x 5" as a door. There is no structural concerns, it's just an access door if you will. The .063 is typically used to protect against vibration and cracking from fatigue. If I were to do this same size "door" in fiberglass or carbon fiber, is there a way to approximate the tensile strength of the aluminum .063 and determine the best carbon or fiberglass thickness to achieve similar strength?
