摘要:
Methods for fabricating fiber-composite truss structures comprise a) individually molding multiple unit cells of a given size, and subsequently fusing them together in a repeating pattern, b) cross members are consolidated with longerons while maintaining continuity of fiber in the longerons, and c) compression-molded truss components are unioned to continuous fiber beams by means of mechanically interlocking joints.

摘要:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a lightweight composite material structure while suppressing a drop in strength. In a composite material structure, which is configured as a fiber-reinforced plastic composite material extending in one direction and having a plurality of holes (5) formed at intervals in a row in the one direction and which is subjected to a tensile load and/or a compressive load in the one direction, a peripheral region (3a) around the holes (5) comprises a first area (10) obtained by bending composite material, which is reinforced using continuous fibers that have been made even in the longitudinal direction, so that the center line of the width (W) of the composite material weaves between adjacent holes (5) and zigzags in the one direction. The tensile rigidity and/or compressive rigidity in the one direction of the peripheral region (3a) around the holes (5) is lower than the tensile rigidity and/or the compressive rigidity in the one direction of the other regions (3b) that surround the peripheral regions (3a).

摘要:
A vascular prosthesis is constructed from a structure having interconnected, helically oriented channel-porosity to allow oriented ingrowth of connective tissue into a wall of the prosthesis. The prosthesis can have a small internal diameter of 6 mm or less. Several different methods can be used to produce the prosthesis, including a fiber winding and extraction technique, a melt extrusion technique, and a particle and fiber extraction technique using either a layered method or a continuous method. Furthermore, mechanical properties of prosthesis are matched with mechanical properties of the host vessel, thereby overcoming problems of compliance mismatch.
