    Abstract: An apparatus for forming a flange on a component is presented. The apparatus includes a mold disposed for the placement of the component thereon, a forming tool, and a tubular bladder. The forming tool is assembled to hold the component with a first portion extending into a space defined between the mold and the forming tool. The tubular bladder has a non-uniform wall thickness around its cross section along a longitudinal dimension of the bladder. The bladder is disposed in a step defined in the mold, and configured to impart a forming force to the portion extending into the space to form the flange on the component when the bladder is inflated. A method for forming the flange on the component is also provided.

    Abstract: A method is provided for forming a composite article to have a primary composite structure and an integral secondary composite structure that extends out of a plane defined by the primary composite structure. The method includes laying-up first plies to construct the primary composite structure. The first plies contain continuous reinforcement material and extend from a first zone that will define the primary composite structure into a second zone that will define the secondary composite structure. During laying-up of the first plies, additional plies are interleaved with the first plies within the second zone but not the first zone. The additional plies originate within a build-up zone between the first and second zones and extend therefrom into the second zone. After interleaving the plies, the build-up zone is deformed to orient the second zone and form the secondary composite structure that extends out of the plane defined by the continuous reinforcement material of the first plies.

    Abstract: A superconducting magnet includes a cooling tank containing a cooling medium and at least one superconducting circuit configured for generating a magnetic field. The superconducting magnet further includes a power supply connected to the superconducting circuit(s) for energizing the superconducting circuit(s) and a superconducting switch electrically connected across ends of the superconducting circuit(s). The superconducting switch includes a superconducting winding and a thermal conduction member having a first end thermally coupled to the superconducting winding and a second end thermally coupled to the cooling medium within the cooling tank. The thermal conduction member includes, at least, a first layer and a second layer. The first layer is constructed of a metal material having a first thermal conductivity. The second layer supports the first layer and is constructed of a material having a second thermal conductivity that is lower than the first thermal conductivity.

    Abstract: A fiber placement system is provided that can include a compaction roller defining a plurality of openings between a roller outer surface and a roller inner surface. The plurality of openings are in fluid communication with a vacuum source. A cover can be included in or on the compaction roller so as to block airflow through a portion of the openings. The fiber placement system can also include a head including a frame and at least one supply spool mounted on the frame. The supply spool is supported on a hub for rotation, and the compaction roller is aligned to receive one or more fiber tows from the at least one supply spool. Methods are also provided for laying a prepreg tow material using automated fiber placement.
