Patent number: 11840052Abstract: A method for producing a composite component including a bottom layer, cover layer and honeycomb structure, including applying the honeycomb structure to the bottom layer wherein honeycomb chambers are formed. Honeycomb chambers are filled in a reinforcement region with a granular material and granular material is removed from other honeycomb chambers wherein each honeycomb chamber is filled up to a granular-material filling height and honeycomb chambers outside the reinforcement region are free of granular material. The cover layer is applied to the honeycomb structure wherein the honeycomb chambers are closed. The composite component is heated so the granular material in the honeycomb chambers expands to fill it with granular material and the cover layer, the bottom layer, the honeycomb structure and the expanded granular material harden, the density of the expanded granular material in the honeycomb chambers filled with granular material being dependent on the granular-material filling height.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2022Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Airbus Operations GmbHInventors: Jürgen Langediers, Berend Schoke, Marcel Meyer

Patent number: 9796167Abstract: A method of fabricating an artifact (15) includes treating natural fibers (110) with a non-halogenated flame retardant agent (120), the fibers (110) also being treated with a smoke suppressant (120). At least one pre-preg is formed (170, 180) from the treated natural fibers and from a resin composition (160) including a smoke suppressant (150) admixed therein (160). An uncured artifact is formed from a core or substrate (12) and the pre-preg, which provides a skin, and is cured (210). A non-fibrous silicate fire resistant material (190, 230) is introduced by: (i) admixing the fire resistant material with the resin composition, and/or (ii) applying the fire resistant material to an outer surface of the pre-preg or an outer surface of the skin of the uncured artifact, and/or (iii) applying the fire resistant material to an outer surface of the skin of the cured artifact. The invention extends to a flame-proofed artifact (15).Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2011Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: CSIRInventors: Rajesh Anandjiwala, Stephen Anthony Chapple, Maya Jacob John, Hans-Jürgen Schelling, Wilfried Michaelis, Michael Döcker, Berend Schoke

Publication number: 20110042515Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for providing active fire protection in aircraft by means of at least one protective shield. According to the invention, the at least one protective shield is formed with an intumescent material, which in the event of a fire can be activated, in particular made to expand, in a controlled manner well below the initial temperature otherwise usual for intumescent materials of the order of 250° C. by means of an electrical heating device. The current temperature in the hold (preferably at various temperature measuring points) of the aircraft is measured by means of at least one temperature sensor and transmitted to a controlling and regulating device. In the event of a fire, the heating devices are activated and the intumescent reactions of the protective shields for providing fire protection are initiated within a temperature interval between 90° C. and 150° C.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2009Publication date: February 24, 2011Applicant: AIRBUS OPERATIONS GMBHInventors: Berend Schoke, Heinz-Peter Busch
