摘要： The invention relates to three-dimensional carbon-carbon composites for use in high temperature applications, such as aerospace structures. The invention further relates to methods and related compositions for making a three-dimensional carbon-carbon composite. In certain embodiments, the invention provides a method to densify geometrically complex three-dimensional woven carbon fiber preforms into high density carbon-carbon composites at faster rates and lower cost than traditional processing approaches using, e.g., multiple resin transfer moldings (RTM) of a three-dimensional woven preform, or of a partially dense carbon-carbon intermediate, in a closed tool volume using high pressure piston injectors, followed by carbonization and graphitization of the resulting composite.

摘要： Disclosed are methods and related compositions for producing a positive-locking load application for rod-shaped fiber composite structures, and the design thereof.
The present invention concerns a method for producing a positive-locking load application for tension-compression rods from a fiber plastic hollow structure by means of an outer sleeve. In this process, a force pushes the fiber plastic hollow structure at least partially over at least one force application element, which is provided with at least one undercut to create a positive-locking connection. An object of the present invention is attained through local heating of the fiber plastic hollow structure to the point of plasticity of the fiber plastic hollow structure, at least in the region of the undercut(s) of the force application element, and application of at least one outer sleeve to the fiber plastic hollow structure in the region of the force application element.

摘要： The present invention achieves a high mechanical load capacity of a rod end by means of a component loop that passes around a bearing, where the component may be made of continuous-fiber reinforced composite material with thermoplastic matrix and where the continuous-fiber reinforced composite material with thermoplastic matrix may extend into a threaded stem of the rod end, and the component made of continuous-fiber reinforced composite material with thermoplastic matrix may be enclosed by short-fiber reinforced, long-fiber reinforced, or unreinforced thermoplastic. The threaded stem can be implemented with an external or an internal thread.

摘要： Disclosed is a method of forming a 3D woven omega-shaped stiffener by flat weaving a plurality of layers of interwoven warp and weft fibers to form a flat woven fabric having a cap portion, a first and a second web portion, a first and second foot portion, and an inner wrap portion. The 3D woven fabric is woven so that least some of the weft fibers are continuous across a juncture between the web portion and the foot portions. The flat woven fabric is then formed into the omega shape.

摘要： A three dimensional woven preform, a fiber reinforced composite incorporating the preform, and methods of making thereof are disclosed. The woven preform includes one or more layers of a warp steered fabric. A portion of the warp steered fabric is compressed into a mold to form an upstanding leg. The preform includes the upstanding leg and a joggle in a body portion. The body portion and upstanding leg are integrally woven so there is continuous fiber across the preform. A portion of the warp steered fabric includes stretch broken carbon fibers in the warp direction, and another portion includes conventional carbon fibers. The warp steered fabric can be woven on a loom equipped with a differential take-up mechanism. The warp steered fabric can be a single or multilayer fabric. The preform or the composite can be a portion of an aircraft window frame.
