  • Publication number: 20110204534
    Abstract: In manufacturing composite material by curing fluid, strength deterioration of the composite material due to repair before the fluid is cured is reduced. A suction hole is formed in a bag film (3) for sealing a space for fibers being impregnated with resin, after start of impregnation. The suction hole is covered by a plate (56) with holes (57). The resin is sucked from the space through the plate (56). According to such composite material manufacturing method, a defect, which occurs during fibers are impregnated with resin, can be repaired before the resin is cured without causing disorder and damage in the fibers. In a composite material formed from one repaired in the above way, the repaired portion is strong, namely, there is no strength deterioration due to repair after curing, and thus, the material is preferred as compared with a composite material which is repaired after resin is cured.

  • Publication number: 20100219032
    Abstract: The peak value of an initial load in a self-fracture occurring during transition to a stable sequential fracture mode is controlled, and a desired amount of absorbed energy is ensured. An impact-absorbing member (3) is formed of reinforcing fiber and resin and includes a plurality of fiber-reinforced resin layers that absorb an impact through a self-fracture when subjected to the impact. Reinforcing fibers in at least one fiber-reinforced resin layer (5) at a leading portion (3a) extend in a direction falling within the range of 90°±45° with respect to an energy-absorption axis direction, whereas reinforcing fibers (7) in the same fiber-reinforced resin layer in a impact-absorbing-member main body (3b) excluding the leading portion (3a) extend in a direction falling within the range of 0°±45° with respect to the energy-absorption axis direction.
