    摘要: A method of manufacturing a composite structure includes providing a mandrel comprising a base part and at least one conical part. The base part comprises an elongate shaft. The base part of the mandrel comprises a cylindrical surface around a longitudinal axis of the base part. The at least one conical part extends from the cylindrical surface of the base part. The mandrel and a braiding machine are moved relative to one another such that fibre tows are braided over at least the base part of the mandrel. The mandrel and the braiding machine are arranged such that during the braiding process, none of the fibre tows intersect with a vertex of the at least one conical part of the mandrel.

    摘要: An isolator includes a first fluid-carrying member and a second fluid-carrying member; and a resistive, semi-conductive or non-conductive component located between the first and the second fluid-carrying member. The component conveys fluid flowing from the first fluid-carrying member to the second fluid-carrying member. The isolator further has a reinforcing composite encircling the first fluid-carrying member, the second fluid-carrying member and the component. The reinforcing composite having first fibers extending at an angle of between −30 degrees and +30 degrees to a longitudinal axis (A-A) of the resistive, semi-conductive or non-conductive component; second fibers interwoven with the first fibers and extending around the first fluid-carrying member, the second fluid-carrying member and the component at an angle of between +60 degrees and +90 degrees and/or between −60 degrees and −90 degrees to the longitudinal axis (A-A); and a resin.

    摘要: A battery cell stack casing includes casing walls defining a housing interior for receiving a battery cell stack, a first end plate provided between the walls at a first end of the casing to close a first end of the housing interior, and a second end plate provided between the walls at a second end of the casing to close a second end of the housing interior. The casing walls have a multi-layer structure that includes, an inner layer having a first side facing into the housing interior and a second opposite side, an outer layer spaced outwardly from the second side of the inner layer, an air or vacuum-filled thermally insulating volume defined between the second side of the inner layer and the outer layer, and a layer of intumescent material provided on the first side of the inner layer.

    摘要: A composite cylinder for an actuator. The cylinder includes: a radially inner fibre-reinforced polymer layer defining a hollow bore; a radially outer fibre-reinforced polymer layer; a primary conductive coil, and a first and second secondary conductive coil wound between the radially inner fibre-reinforced polymer layer and the radially outer fibre-reinforced polymer layer. The first secondary conductive coil extends axially along at least a first region of the cylinder and the second secondary conductive coil extends axially along at least a second region of the cylinder, and wherein the primary conductive coil extends axially along at least a central region of the cylinder between the first region and the second region.

    摘要: A fiber reinforced polymer composite pipe includes first and second ends and defines a central axis running in a longitudinal direction from the first end to the second end, and the pipe including at least one non-linear portion along the central axis between the first end and the second end. A first material extends continuously from the first end to the second end, the first material being a fiber reinforced polymer material comprising fiber reinforcement in a polymer matrix and having an electrical resistivity determined by an electrically conductive fiber reinforcement and/or an electrically conductive additive in the polymer matrix; and a second material arranged at the at least one non-linear portion and extending discontinuously between the first end and the second end, and has an elastic modulus greater than the elastic modulus of the first material in the longitudinal direction.

    摘要: A composite fluid transfer conduit is provided. The conduit includes a first end portion, a second end portion and a main body portion between the first and second end portions. At least one of the first and second end portions is an end portion comprising a circumferential groove in a radially outer surface of the fluid transfer conduit, an axial end face, and a transition surface between the axial end face and the circumferential groove. The transition surface is configured such that, for any angle of impact of the end portion with a planar impact surface, a resultant impact force on the end portion is directed away from the circumferential groove.
