A nonwoven trough and method of construction thereof are provided. The nonwoven trough includes at least one nonwoven wall formed from a mixture of bonded natural cellulosic fibers and thermoplastic fibers. The at least one nonwoven wall extends along a longitudinal axis and has a midsection and opposite end portions. The midsection has a base and a pair of walls extending upwardly from the base to provide the midsection with a generally U-shaped cross-section taken generally transversely to the longitudinal axis. At least one flange extends laterally from the at least one nonwoven wall, wherein the flange is configured for attachment to a vehicle member.

The stiffeners of a composite material panel may be protected by a structural section having a configuration absorbing edge impacts without propagation of impact energy to the protected structure. Each composite panel with protected parallel stiffeners has a multiply front face coming to an edge and extending between two lateral flanks of outside plies, symmetrically relative to a median plane (Pm). A device for protecting each stiffener includes a structural section that caps the stiffener symmetrically relative to this median plane (Pm). This structural section consists of an upper section formed above the edge and configured to envelop a space above the edge, a lower section framing the lateral flanks by longitudinal walls (Pi) fastened to these flanks, and an intermediate section bearing at least partially on the edge via transverse walls (Pb) so as to minimize the propagation of impact forces to the lower section.

A sandwich structure based on a composite panel made of a thermoplastic core layer connected to at least one fiber-reinforced thermoplastic layer, in particular in-situ manufactured sandwich panels, comprises a thermoplastic core, which is arranged between two cover layers, in which the core is reinforced with fiber-reinforced thermoplastic reinforcing ribs which extend between the cover layers. Preferred methods for the manufacture are also described.

A composite panel with protected parallel stiffeners has a multiply front face coming to an edge and extending between two lateral flanks of outside plies, symmetrically relative to a median plane (Pm). A device for protecting each stiffener includes a structural section that caps the stiffener symmetrically relative to this median plane (Pm). This structural section includes a so-called upper section formed above the edge and configured to envelop a space above the edge, a so-called lower section framing the lateral flanks by means of longitudinal walls (Pi) fastened to these flanks, and an intermediate section bearing at least partially on the edge via transverse walls (Pb) so as to minimize the propagation of impact forces to the lower section.
摘要:
Precision-folded, high strength, fatigue-resistant structures and a sheet therefore are disclosed. To form the structures, methods for precision bending of a sheet of material along a bend line and a sheet of material formed with bending strap-defining structures, such as slits or grooves, are disclosed. Methods include steps of designing and then separately forming longitudinally extending slits or grooves through the sheet of material in axially spaced relation to produce precise bending of the sheet when bent along the bend line. The bending straps have a configuration and orientation which increases their strength and fatigue resistance, and most preferably slits or arcs are used which causes edges to be engaged and supported on faces of the sheet material on opposite sides of the slits or arcs. The edge-to-face contact produces bending along a virtual fulcrum position in superimposed relation to the bend line. Several slit embodiments suitable for producing edge-to-face engagement support and precise bending are disclosed. With these teachings, forming numerous three-dimensional load-bearing structures from a two dimensional sheet are enabled. Examples of straight and curved beams, chassis, and exoskeletons are disclosed.

A human impact protection apparatus includes a body portion formed of a first resilient material and a plurality of members protruding radially outward from the body portion. The plurality of members are formed of a second resilient material which is the same as or different from the first resilient material. The plurality of members are adjacent one another and are separated by one or more spaces. An adhesive material or a mechanical fastener is disposed about one or both of the body portion and the plurality of members, whereby the apparatus may be affixed to a surface.

A narrow prepreg sheet 20N is bonded along a ridge C, and wide prepreg sheet 20W is bonded to other portions, whereby the wide prepreg sheet 20W having no cut line is bonded to both side portions of the ridge C.In a portion in which a spar 10 is curved, the narrow prepreg sheet 20N is bonded in an axial direction of the spar 10 while divided into plural pieces, and a length of the narrow prepreg sheet 20N is adjusted according to a radius of curvature of the curved portion in the axial direction of the spar 10, whereby various radii of curvature are easily dealt with.
摘要:
A sheet of material formed for bending along a bend line comprises a plurality of slits positioned proximate and along the bend line. The slits each have opposite end portions which diverge away from the bend line. The slits are configured and positioned to produce bending of the sheet of material along the bend line. The diverging slit end portions reduce stress in the sheet of material during bending.
