Zusammenfassung:A stringer (16) of fiber reinforced polymerizable thermosetting composite material is provided, the stringer having a cross section of closed or concave shape with two opposite side flanges (16a) that are brought into contact with a skin panel (14) of fiber reinforced polymerizable or polymerized thermosetting composite material. An elongate support (10) coated with a film bag (11) is positioned in a cavity defined between the stringer and the skin panel. The bottom of this assembly rests on a stiff forming tool (15) while the top is covered by a caul plate (17) having a profile congruent with a part of the assembly to be cured. In an autoclave, pressure is applied to the composite material by the tubular inner bag (11) and through the caul plate (17). The pressure is transmitted without the interposition of intermediate mandrels.
