    摘要: A system is provided for filling a gap between adjoining coplanar first and second sheet members mounted on an outer surface of a common substrate and having juxtaposed first and second edge surfaces. A permanent gap filler member of predetermined shape and size intended for eventual permanent reception in the gap is employed for partially filling the gap. A temporary gap filler tool which includes a substitute gap filler element having substantially the same predetermined size and shape of the permanent gap filler member, has an abutting surface for contiguous engagement with the first edge surface of the first sheet member when advanced to an attached position before the permanent gap filler member is mounted in the gap, a minor gap surface facing opposite said abutting surface, and means for releasably attaching the temporary gap filler tool to the first sheet member. A minor gap is thereby defined between the temporary gap filler element and the second edge surface of the second sheet member. Fairing material is initially laid down as an epoxy resin slurry in a minor gap resulting between the substitute gap filler element and the second edge surface of the second sheet member, then cured to hardened form having a substitute second edge surface contiguous with the minor gap surface of the substitute gap filler element. Thereafter, the temporary gap filler is removed from the gap and the permanent gap filler member is inserted and bonded to the common substrate resulting in the entire gap being filled.

    摘要: The present invention is embodied in an tool and method for structurally applying fiber stiffeners to a material. The tool inserts a plurality of fibers embedded in a transfer material through a hat stiffener and into a substrate and includes a first head, a second head, and a handle. The first head is defined by a roller having first edges and a center cutout. The cutout corresponds to the thickness of the transfer material. The second head is located at a distal end from the first head and is defined by a roller having second edges and a center groove. The groove corresponds to a thickness associated with guiding the tool along the corner of the hat stiffener. The first and second edges conform to the surface of the substrate. The center handle is coupled between the first head and second head for gripping. The first head is adapted to initially drive the fibers embedded in the transfer material through the hat stiffener and into the substrate. The second head is adapted to finally secure the fibers within the hat stiffener and the substrate.

The pressure applicator device is provided with a generally annular suction member for providing suction attachment to the repair composite surface about the repair patch. The pressure applicator device is further provided with a cover member which is disposable above and across the suction member. The cover member is attached to the suction member. The pressure applicator device is further provided with a flexible pressure bladder formed of a generally fluid tight elastic material which is disposed beneath the cover member and interior to the suction member. The pressure bladder defines upper and lower chambers. The upper chamber is disposed between the cover member and the pressure bladder. The lower chamber is disposable between the pressure bladder and the repair surface. The pressure bladder is sized and configured to apply pressure to the repair patch upon fluid evacuation of the lower chamber.

    摘要: A method for repairing a multi-layered damage area in a multi-layered composite structure. The method first includes obtaining depth measurement data, and obtaining topographical measurement data by laser scanning the surface of the damage area. This depth measurement data and topographical measurement data are inputted into a microprocessor along with thickness data of each layer. All inputted information is correlated among itself to thereby internally produce a three-dimensional damage area display-replica and interpolate a two-dimensional pattern of each layer of the damage area and of the surface of the damage area. The damage area is removed by first projecting a two-dimensional laser pattern of the damage area thereat on the surface of the structure, and thereafter manually removing the area to produce a void. Repair is accomplished by projecting onto respective replacement material a two-dimensional laser image pattern of each layer and manually cutting that layer according to the appropriate pattern. The cut layers then are arranged in accord with construction of the removed damage area to form a plug that is placed within the void.
