Composite structures with stiffeners and method of making the same

A method for assembling a stiffened composite structure includes a step of co bonding a cured infused composite stiffener 22 to a pre-preg composite laminate skin element 20. The pre-preg composite laminate skin element is dimensionally changeable (e.g. is at b-stage cure). Alternatively the method...

Zusammenfassung:A method for assembling a stiffened composite structure includes a step of co bonding a cured infused composite stiffener 22 to a pre-preg composite laminate skin element 20. The pre-preg composite laminate skin element is dimensionally changeable (e.g. is at b-stage cure). Alternatively the method for assembling the stiffened composite structure includes a step of coupling the stiffener 22, having a preform of a plurality of braided fibres, to the dimensionally changeable pre preg composite laminate skin element. The coupling may comprise co-bonding. A layer of bonding material may be provided between the skin and stiffener. Bonding may take place under pressure and heating. The stiffener may be formed by infusing dry fibres with resin and curing. Used in aircraft construction
