Fiber reinforced glass matrix and glass-ceramic matrix composite articles
First Claim
1. A fiber reinforced glass matrix or glass-ceramic matrix article comprising first and second face sheets in opposing relation to each other, and a rib extending film the first face sheet to the second face sheet, wherein said face sheets and rib are comprised of woven nonmetallic fibers in said glass matrix or glass-ceramic matrix, and the fibers in the rib are woven with the fibers in the face sheets, said fibers selected from the group consisting of graphite, carbides, borides, nitrides and oxides.

Abstract
Fiber reinforced glass or glass-ceramic matrix composite articles are described which comprise spaced apart face sheets connected by ribs which extend between the face sheets. The fibers in the ribs are interwoven with the fibers in the face sheets, thereby producing a structure having high shear strength.
