Zusammenfassung:A three dimensional textile joint reinforcement joins and reinforces a composite panel and a support structure. The composite panel includes lamina of textile fibers in the plane of the panel. The joint reinforcement is attached to the composite panel by staples. The support structure, which is typically perpendicular to the plane of the composite panel, is also attached to the joint reinforcement. Out of plane forces act upon the assembled structure and the joint reinforcement transfers out of plane loads between the support structure and the composite panel. The staples provide transfer of load to the plane of the textile fibers in the composite panel, where the composite panel is strongest.
