摘要:
A sandwich skin construction that is comprised of an internal structure comprising a plurality of cones disposed between two outer skins is disclosed. The interior contains a pressurized gas to give the resulting sandwich skin construction added strength over a similarly constructed non-pressurized structure of the same material with an equivalent mass. Various attributes of the cones can be adjusted, for example, size and angle, to optimize the performance of the sandwich skin construction to a variety of external stresses. Moreover, a method is provided for manufacturing the sandwich skin construction. The structure can be placed in a pressurized environment before attaching the outer skins.

Large composite structures are produced using a vacuum assisted resin transfer molding process. The structures incorporate cores, which may be hollow cells or foam blocks. A plurality of cores, each of which may be wrapped with a fiber material, is arranged in a layer on a mold with a fiber material arranged to form face skins. The assembly is sealed under a vacuum bag to a mold surface. One or more main feeder conduits are provided in communication with a resin distribution network of smaller channels which facilitates flow of uncured resin into and through the fiber material. The resin distribution network may comprise a network of grooves formed in the surfaces or the cores and/or rounded corners of the cores. The network of smaller channels may also be provided between the vacuum bag and the fiber material, either integrally in the vacuum bag or via a separate distribution medium. Resin, introduced under vacuum, travels relatively quickly through the main feeder channel(s) and the network of smaller channels. After penetrating the fiber material to reach the surface of the cores, the resin again travels relatively quickly along the cores via the grooves in the cores or the spaces provided by the rounded corners to penetrate the fiber material between the cores, if present, and between the cores and the mold.

An extruded hollow plastic board is described which has a pair of flat and parallel sheets spaced apart and interconnected by longitudinally extending ribs. The ribs and sheets are connected with rounded joint areas, which significantly improve the mechanical properties and solve undercut and die line problems existing with prior art hollow plastic boards. This invention also provides a method for the manufacture of the hollow board of thermoplastic resin thereof.
摘要:
An end fitting closes at least one end of a passageway having an external periphery and an internal periphery to be cast-in-place within a part. A fitting body has at least one elongated, blind-ended aperture formed therein. The aperture is defined at least in part by a first surface having a complimentary shape with respect to the external periphery of the cast-in-place passageway for receiving an end of the passageway disposed extending at least partially therein to close the passageway during casting of the part. The fitting body is composed of material essentially identical to material being used during casting of the part. The fitting body is positionable within a casting mold for forming the part to be cast, such that machining the cast part after casting opens the blind-end of the fitting to allow fluid flow through the passageway cast-in-place within the part. The end fitting may include a shaped aperture, such as a hexagonal shape or oval shape, for receiving a complimentary shaped nut on the conduit or complimentary shaped passageway to provide orientation of the passageway with respect to the fitting when connected thereto.
摘要:
For producing connections made from composite material for structures having at least two hollow or non-hollow bars, interconnected by at least one hollow connecting joint, separate production takes place of blanks of said different parts with the definitive shapes, but in which the impregnation resin for the assembly of said blanks has not yet been introduced, after which they are assembled by thermosetting resin transfer molding, so as to produce the resin matrix of the connecting joint or the complete structure at the same time as the assembly. The blanks of the connecting joints are obtained by compressing a planar textile complex formed from hot preformable textile fibers between a cavity of a shaping mold and a countermold, by cutting and folding down onto the countermold the overlap parts and performing a thermal preforming cycle.

摘要:
A porous article comprising a three-dimensional network of interconnecting pores and a void volume between twenty and eighty percent. The porous article is manufactured using a specifically delineated mesh structure wherein the pore size, void volume and material properties are tightly controlled and easily varied. The resulting material is advantageously applied to several bio-medical applications, including reconstructive surgery and arterial replacement.
摘要:
This invention is directed to a thermal barrier layer particularly adapted for insulating a solid flowable particulate polymeric pressure transfer medium from elevated temperatures during high temperature molding. A method useful with the thermal barrier comprises transferring pressure from a pressure means via the thermal insulation layer to an article and exposing the article to temperatures of about 316.degree. C. to about 1371.degree. C. An exemplary thermal barrier comprises at least two flexible layers of beads having a thermal insulation of less than about 2 k.
摘要:
A hollow plate made of synthethic resin including hollow portions, and contacted portions intermittently formed by bending the lower face of each of the hollow portions inward and then contacting it with the underside of an upper face, wherein the lower face at each of the contacted portions is tapered to become thicker and thicker toward its center.
