  • Structural device for improving the thermal expansion resistance of a structure
    Patent number: 7866109
    Abstract: The structural panel assembly structure has a rigid, substantially plane panel and at least one one-piece attachment part, produced by moulding, glued to the panel. The attachment part has a first plane face including a recess that can receive a glue and rims intended to retain the glue around the recess and at least one opening. A bar is fastened to the first plane face. The materials of the attachment part and the panel are composite materials and the bar has a metal insert that is inserted when moulding the attachment part and is intended to be threaded.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 22, 2008
    Date of Patent: January 11, 2011
    Assignee: Thales

  • Method of manufacturing a tube-and-plate structure of metal-matrix composite material
    Patent number: 6595264
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a tube-plate structure of metal-matrix composite material in which a single mold is used having a first fiber preform of shape comparable to that of the tube, a second fiber preform of shape comparable to that of the plate, and a third fiber preform surrounding the first fiber preform where it is adjacent to the second fiber preform all placed therein. Thereafter, a metal or a metal alloy is injected into the mold along the axis of the tube via the face of the second preform that is remote from the first preform. This provides a monolithic structure that presents a high degree of thermo-mechanical stability.
