Abstract: An aircraft structure (such as a T-shaped structure, a convex structure, a curved structure, or the like) includes: a laminated structure including composite-material layers that are laminated; and wherein the composite material aircraft structure is a three-dimensional structure that includes at least one of a standing structure, a convex structure, or a curved structure. The composite-material layers include at least a composite-material layer in which a reinforced fiber is a single continuous fiber, wherein the single continuous fiber includes a partial slit region. When a thickness of a flat-plate formed body including a same laminated structure as the aircraft structure but not including the three-dimensional structure, is defined as a reference thickness, the aircraft structure includes a thin plate region which has a thickness that is smaller than the reference thickness while maintaining the laminated structure.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a shell (36 and 38) of a wind turbine blade (10) is disclosed. The method comprises providing a mould (9) having a marker (11) at pre-determined locations. One or more layers of fiber fabrics are provided on surface of the mould (9) to form a shell half structure (36 and 38). Resin is infused through the one or more layers of fiber fabrics and subsequently cured to obtain the shell half structure (36 and 38). A reference portion (19) is marked on the shell half structure (36 and 38) to assemble one or more components on the shell half structure (36 and 38), by detecting a location of the marker (11) in the mould (9) by a detection device (13). The above method facilitates accurate positioning of component such as shear webs (7).

Abstract: Articles of wear having one or more textiles that include a low processing temperature polymeric composition and a high processing temperature polymeric composition, and methods of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The low processing temperature polymeric composition and the high processing temperature polymeric composition can be selectively incorporated into a textile to provide one or more structural properties and/or other advantageous properties to the article. The textile can be thermoformed to impart such structural and/or other advantageous properties to the article of wear. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

Abstract: A device for manufacturing a stiffened panel with reinforcements which each have a final thickness and a final height. The manufacturing device includes tools configured to each support a preform of fibers having a U-shaped or C-shaped cross section with a base and two wings. Each tool comprises, at at least one of its first and second lateral faces, a set-back portion which, when two tools are juxtaposed, delimits a recess configured to form a reinforcement during a consolidation or polymerization step. The tools are dimensioned such that each recess has a width, at the consolidation or polymerization temperature, that is substantially equal to the thickness of the reinforcements. This solution makes it possible to more effectively control the geometry of the stiffened panel by avoiding the formation of beads. A method for manufacturing a stiffened panel using the device is also disclosed.

Abstract: A manufacturing method for a component made from composite material, in particular of a turbomachine, includes the steps of producing a preform with a fibrous reinforcement comprising a first fibrous portion and a second fibrous portion, and injecting a pressurized matrix into an injection chamber of an injection mold, in which the preform is arranged. The method further includes the steps of polymerizing the preform and positioning a flexible pocket that encloses a fluid and that is arranged between the first fibrous portion and the second fibrous portion before the injection step. The fluid is configured to apply an additional pressure to the preform of the fluid during the polymerization step.

Abstract: A method and system for manufacturing composite parts free of wrinkles and mark-offs from bagging compression. The method can include placing composite material around a rigid mandrel and sealing opposing end of an elastomeric hollow membrane within a rigid external vessel. Then the method can include inflating the hollow membrane from a natural state to an inflated state. In the natural state, the hollow membrane can have a cross-section smaller than the cross section of the rigid mandrel with the composite material thereon. The method can then include inserting the rigid mandrel and the composite material into the membrane while it is in the inflated state, followed by releasing the membrane from the inflated state to naturally contract toward its natural state. Then the method can include heating the composite material to a cure temperature while the composite material is compressed by the membrane.
