Rim fibre architecture of a composite wheel

A rim portion (102) of a composite wheel (100) of a vehicle, the rim portion (102) comprising a shaped annulus formed about a central axis (X) of rotation of the composite wheel (100) and having a circumferential axis (C) extending circumferentially about the central axis (X) and around the rim port...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A rim portion (102) of a composite wheel (100) of a vehicle, the rim portion (102) comprising a shaped annulus formed about a central axis (X) of rotation of the composite wheel (100) and having a circumferential axis (C) extending circumferentially about the central axis (X) and around the rim portion (102), said rim portion (102) having a fibre layup comprising a stacked laminate formed from alternating layers of: a hoop tow layer (230) comprising elongate fibre tow in which the fibres are substantially aligned with the circumferential axis (C) of the rim portion (102), the hoop tow layer (230) being formed from at least one annularly wound elongate fibre tow; and a bias ply layer (240) comprising at least one fibre ply in which the fibres are substantially orientated at an angle of +Ɵ or -Ɵ to the circumferential axis (C) of the rim portion (102), wherein Ɵ is from 26° to 40°.
