  • Publication number: 20240166332
    Abstract: Curved stiffener for a turbomachine cowl composed of a resin-impregnated fibrous reinforcement, including a stack of a plurality of layers of fibers stacked along the thickness direction and extending on the entire width of the fibrous reinforcement, each layer of fibers having a plurality of fibers parallel to each other extending along a direction inclined relative to the length direction, the fibers of two consecutive layers of fibers along the thickness direction have directions inclined relative to each other, and the layers of fibers are sewn together by sewing threads extending along the length direction, the fibrous reinforcement includes a layer of reinforcing fibers having a plurality of fibers parallel to each other extending along the length direction, the layer of reinforcing fibers extending at least on the central part, over a width smaller than the width of the fibrous reinforcement.

  • Publication number: 20210179256
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a preform for producing a part made of composite material with an unchangeable final shape includes supplying a triaxial non-woven textile comprising a layer of fibers orientated in a first direction, a layer of fibers orientated in a second direction, a layer of fibers orientated in a third direction, and seams extending parallel to each other and forming sheaths for the circumferential fibers, arranging the textile on an element of unchangeable shape by placing the seams parallel to the circumferential direction of the element, and sliding the circumferential fibers into the sheaths so that the textile is in continuous contact with the element.

  • Patent number: 10767288
    Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a preform for a curved composite stiffener for an axisymmetric part such as a shroud, including at least one web and at least one flange curved about an axis of revolution of the preform and defining a substantially “T” or an “I” shaped section. In one form, the preform includes a web and a flange, wherein the web includes a plurality of warp yarns circumferentially oriented relative to the axis of revolution of the preform, and a plurality of weft yarns oriented radially relative to said axis, and the flange includes a plurality of warp yarns circumferentially oriented relative to the axis of revolution of the preform, and a plurality of weft yarns substantially parallel to said axis.
