Abstract: A composite fibrous susceptor for use in induction welding is described, along with methods of its construction and use. The composite fibrous susceptor can include a magnetically susceptible continuous fiber in conjunction with a thermoplastic polymer. The composite fibrous susceptor can be deposited according to an additive manufacturing process on a surface to be bonded according to an induction welding process.

Abstract: A system for printing a three-dimensional object is provided. The system can include at least one print head configured to receive a continuous fiber and at least partially encase the continuous fiber with a formation material to create a composite material. The at least one print bed can be configured to move in at least six different degrees of freedom. The system can also include at least one print bed comprising a printing surface onto which the composite material may be selectively applied to form a work piece. The at least one print head can be positioned relative to the at least one print bed and configured to advance print media thereon.

Abstract: A method for simple and economical positioning of two work pieces with one another wherein the pieces are welded using induction heating to melt a polymer in a composite wherein air can be blown on the surface to limit the welding to an area close to the mating surface of the work pieces and to prevent melting of the outer surface which would deteriorate the quality of the outer surface.

Abstract: Disclosed are composite structure health monitoring (SHM) systems that incorporate aspects of both a passive SHM system and an active SHM system. Systems provide a route for continuous monitoring to recognize potentially damaging events as well as to determine the location and intensity of damage in those instances in which the event does cause damage to the structure. Systems can provide improved monitoring with a low space and weight requirement, for instance when utilized for SHM of aircraft.

Abstract: Disclosed are thermoset/thermoplastic composites that include a thermoset component directly or indirectly bonded to a thermoplastic component via a crosslinked binding layer between the two. The crosslinked binding layer is bonded to the thermoplastic component via epoxy linkages and is either directly or indirectly bonded to the thermoset component via epoxy linkages. The composite can be a laminate and can provide a route for addition of a thermoplastic implant to a thermoset structure.
