    摘要: A method and apparatus for forming an improved pultruded and clinched Z-axis fiber reinforced composite laminate structure. The upper and lower skins and the core are pulled automatically through tooling where the skin material is wetted-out with resin and the entire composite laminate is preformed in nearly its final thickness. The preformed composite laminate continues to be pulled into an automatic 3-dimensional Z-axis fiber deposition machine that deposits “groupings of fiber filaments” at multiple locations normal to the plane of the composite laminate structure and cuts each individual grouping such that an extension of each “grouping of fiber filaments” remains above the upper skin and below the lower skin. The preformed composite laminate then continues to be pulled into a secondary wet-out station. Next the preformed composite laminate travels into a pultrusion die where the extended “groupings of fiber filaments” are all bent over above the top skin and below the bottom skin producing a superior clinched Z-axis fiber reinforcement as the composite laminate continues to be pulled, catalyzed, and cured at the back section of the pultrusion die. The composite laminate continues to be pulled by grippers that then feed it into a gantry CNC machine that is synchronous with the pull speed of the grippers and where computerized machining, drilling, and cutting operations take place. This entire method is accomplished automatically without the need for human operators.

    摘要: A method of inserting z-axis reinforcing fibers into a multi-layer composite laminate. Layers of material made up of z-axis fiber and y-axis fibers are automatically transported into a z-fiber deposition machine having a housing with upper and lower surfaces. Z-axis apertures are formed in the respective upper and lower surfaces. An elongated solid rod having a tapered front tip is aligned in close proximity to the aperture in the bottom surface. The rod is first rotated by a motor and then actuated upwardly completely through the thickness of the layer of x-y material by an actuator. A first hollow tube having a z-axis is axially aligned with the aperture in the top surface and a fiber bundle is threaded downwardly through a first hollow tube to a position adjacent its bottom end. The z-fiber deposition machine has structure to feed a predetermined length of the fiber bundle downwardly through the first hollow tube so that it follows the pathway in the x-y material formed by the rod which is now withdrawn downwardly through the aperture in the bottom wall. The z-axis fiber is thus deposited into the x-y material. The top end of the z-axis fiber is then severed and the x-y material is then advanced a predetermined distance to complete the cycle and is, thus, set to be repeated.

    摘要: An adjustable doff core device for installation in the hollow center of a center-pull doff has a tubular core with a fixed internal diameter configured for engagement on a processor configured to dispense material from the outside of a doff. An adjustable outer press bar portion is adjustably mounted on the outside of the tubular core by an adjustment mechanism and is movable between an inner, contracted position and outwardly expanded positions spaced outwardly from the tubular core to define an adjustable outer diameter of the device. The press bar portion is configured for substantially non-slip engagement with an inner diameter of a hollow center-pull doff. A locking device releasably locks the press bar portion in a selected adjusted position.

    摘要: A water jet inlet as used in a surface effect ship, cavitation free environment is provided of a fixed round or rectangular inlet geometry, within the confines of inlet velocity ratios pertaining to the ship velocity immersion design profile. An additional embodiment is disclosed that enables the instant invention to operate at a range of drop fractions, including negative drop fractions, and allows for a truly flush inlet, resulting in minimizing the drag of the ship and potential ingestion of large floating debris.
