METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR BONDING COMPOSITE STRUCTURES

A method (200) of bonding composite structures includes positioning (202) a second structure (104) at a bonding site (110) on a first structure (102) and coupling (204) a first vacuum bag (106) to the first structure such that the first vacuum bag covers the bonding site. The method also includes ap...

Zusammenfassung:	A method (200) of bonding composite structures includes positioning (202) a second structure (104) at a bonding site (110) on a first structure (102) and coupling (204) a first vacuum bag (106) to the first structure such that the first vacuum bag covers the bonding site. The method also includes applying (206) a vacuum to the first vacuum bag to induce a first mechanical force to the second structure via the first vacuum bag. A second vacuum bag (108) is coupled (208) to the first structure such that second vacuum bag covers the second structure and at least a portion of the first vacuum bag. The method further includes applying (210) a vacuum to the second vacuum bag to induce a second mechanical force to the second structure via the second vacuum bag.
