Zusammenfassung:Methods for spiral winding a contoured composite component involving providing a triaxial material, cutting the material to a width, loading the width of material onto a creel, transferring the material from the creel to a tensioning device, and using a traversing screw to spirally wind the material from the tensioning device about a contoured curing mandrel such that each subsequent layer of the material overlaps by about half of the width where the contoured composite component has a cylindrical shape and non-crimp or braided material; a conical shape and non-crimp or braided material void of hoop fibers; or a combination thereof.
