摘要: A method and apparatus for forming a bonded joint on a composite structure is presented. An apparatus carrying a first workpiece is positioned relative to a second workpiece. A vacuum is applied to the first workpiece and a portion of the second workpiece. A bladder on a first surface of a housing of the apparatus is deflated. Deflating the bladder positions the first workpiece such that adhesive having a desired thickness is positioned between the first workpiece and the second workpiece. The adhesive positioned between the first workpiece and the second workpiece is cured.

摘要: A heating blanket is disclosed. The heating blanket may include a thermoplastic matrix configured to become conformable at a predetermined temperature, a conductor embedded in the thermoplastic matrix and configured to receive electrical current and generate a magnetic field in response to the electrical current, and a plurality of susceptors embedded in the thermoplastic matrix and composed of a magnetic material having a Curie point.

摘要: A method of supplying electricity to an electrical component inside a vacuum chamber may include positioning an electrical component inside a vacuum chamber, the electrical component having a first electrical connector portion. A second electrical connector portion may then be connected to the first electrical portion through a hole in a flexible wall of the vacuum chamber, the second electrical connector portion being electrically connected to circuitry disposed outside the vacuum chamber. The connecting step may include hermetically clamping the flexible wall of the vacuum chamber between the first and second electrical connector portions.

摘要: An in-situ double vacuum debulk (DVD) composite repair system designed to produce partially or fully cured autoclave-quality hot-bond composite repairs on contoured structures. The system provides vacuum pressure for hot bond repairs to be performed on flat and contoured structures using one set-up capable of debulking (partially curing) and then fully curing composite repairs on composite and metallic aircraft structures. The use of in-situ DVD also eliminates handling of the patch/adhesive when transferring from an off-aircraft DVD chamber to the repair site on the aircraft. This can increase the probability of successful repairs because the possibility of contaminating and misaligning the adhesive and repair patch are eliminated.

摘要: An apparatus may include a curing apparatus and an electrical coupler. The curing apparatus may include one or more electrical components related to curing a composite material inside a vacuum chamber at least partially defined by a flexible wall. The electrical coupler may be connected to the curing apparatus. The coupler may include a first set of one or more electrical contacts electrically connected to the one or more electrical components of the curing apparatus inside the vacuum chamber. The coupler may be configured to hermetically extend through a hole in the flexible wall. Such extension may dispose the first set of one or more electrical contacts in a space outside of the vacuum chamber for electrical interconnection of the one or more electrical components of the curing apparatus inside the vacuum chamber with circuitry disposed in the space outside of the vacuum chamber.
