摘要:
Processes for producing near net-shape panels and panels formed thereby. The processes include forming a preform to comprise a stack of multiple plies that contain an uncured expandable foam material. The preform has regions that differ from each other by the number and/or volume of the plies therein. The preform and its plies are then cured within a restricted volume to produce a near net-shape panel. The curing step causes the expandable foam material to expand, and the restricted volume is sized so that the number and volume of the plies within the regions of the preform cause zones within the panel to have different densities and/or thicknesses.
摘要:
Tethered flange corners including at least one ply of barrier fibers and at least one fiber tow wrapped about the barrier fibers. Also included are flanges having a tethered corner containing at least one ply of barrier fibers, at least one fiber tow wrapped about the barrier fibers, at least one ply of filler fibers applied over the fiber tow, and at least one ply of flange fibers applied over the filler fibers. Additionally included are articles incorporating a composite structure having a flange with a tethered corner containing at least one ply of barrier fibers and at least one fiber tow wrapped about the barrier fibers.
摘要:
Continuous debulking methods involving providing a spool of fabric, heating the fabric to produce a heated fabric while concurrently transferring the heated fabric to a composite structure forming tool, wrapping the heated fabric about the composite structure forming tool, applying resin to the heated fabric to obtain a resin rich fabric surface, applying a subsequent ply of heated fabric to the resin rich fabric surface to obtain an impregnated composite material, and debulking and cooling the impregnated composite to obtain a composite structure preform.

摘要:
Continuous debulking systems including in combination a spool for providing a fabric, a heating apparatus for heating the fabric as the fabric is unrolled from the spool to produce a heated fabric, a composite structure forming tool for wrapping the heated fabric thereabout, a resin applicator for applying resin to the heated fabric as the heated fabric is wrapped about the composite structure forming tool to produce a resin rich fabric surface to which a subsequent ply of heated fabric is applied to produce an impregnated composite material, and a pressure roller for concurrently debulking and cooling the impregnated composite material to produce a composite structure preform.
摘要:
An apparatus including a composite structure forming tool having a circumferential core, a first endplate and a second endplate, at least one extended flange shoe having a first side and a second side, the first side removeably coupled to the first endplate, and at least one flange shoe removeably coupled to the second side of the extended flange shoe such that when a composite structure preform having at least one mounting flange preform is fabricated about the composite structure forming tool and the extended flange shoe and flange shoe are removeably coupled, a cavity is formed about the mounting flange preform by the extended flange shoe and flange shoe.
