QUESTION 4. The design of a spray-layup, scale to that of Fig Q4, shows too much deflection for the comfort of pedestrians. Comment on the following proposed solutions (pros and cons), and detail the best approach (which can either be from the solutions provided or your own) to remedy the issue. In answering the question, please make sure to justify your answers by drawing on appropriate engineering material theory. a) Upgrade from glass to carbon fibre as carbon has greater mechanical properties b) Upgrade the production method from hand-laminated to infusion to achieve a higher fibre weight fraction c) Upgrade from polyester to epoxy, as epoxy is stronger
