摘要: A thrust reverser cascade of an aircraft engine comprises a frame and a vane overmolded onto the frame. The frame and the vane each comprise reinforcement fibers in a thermoplastic matrix. A method is disclosed for manufacturing the thrust reverser cascade or another part comprising an aerodynamic surface configured to interact with a flow of fluid. The method comprises providing a first portion of the part and overmolding a second portion of the part onto the first portion where the second portion includes the aerodynamic surface.

摘要: A control rod for incorporation into a composite assembly with at least a first composite preform, a second composite preform, and a cured resin includes a shaft defining an axis, wherein the shaft is disposable within an aperture in the composite assembly, and a plurality of threads disposed on at least a portion of the shaft. The shaft is made from, among other materials, a thermoplastic material. The threads define a thread pitch that encompasses more than one individual fiber layer forming at least one of the first composite layer and the second composite layer.

摘要: Precursors and methods for manufacturing perforated composite parts are disclosed. An exemplary precursor (19) comprises structural fibers (24,28) embedded in a cured matrix material (24,26) and interposed between two removable plies (20). The precursor may also comprise a sacrificial fiber (28) extending through the removable plies (20), the matrix material (24,26) and between the structural fibers (24,28). An exemplary method comprises removing the removable plies (20) from the precursor (19) and removing the sacrificial fiber (28) from the precursor after removing the removable plies to form a through hole in the precursor (19) at a location of the sacrificial fiber (28).

摘要: A method for inserting an insert into a hole in a composite material made from a plurality of carbon fiber layers suspended in a resin material includes lowering a temperature of the insert to a reduced temperature at which a coefficient of thermal expansion of a material of the insert causes the insert to contract to a first perimeter, inserting the insert at the reduced temperature into the hole, and permitting the temperature of the insert to increase from the reduced temperature to an operational temperature. At the operational temperature, the insert expands to a second perimeter so that the insert is retained within the composite material due to an interference between the insert and the composite material. The interference transfers a structural load from the insert to the composite material and results in damage to the composite material if the insert is dislodged at the operational temperature.
