Abstract: Disclosed are a connecting arrangement of a fiber composite component with a second component and a process for producing the arrangement. The second component comprises at least one flat section having one or more cut-outs which pass through the flat section. The flat section is arranged between at least two sublayers of the fiber composite component and at least one of the at least two sublayers with a layer thickness SF comprises one or more embossments which have an essentially even layer thickness SF and are molded into the one or more cut-outs.

Abstract: One example method for producing a component from organic sheets may comprise placing a first organic sheet and a second organic sheet next to one another to form a component preform, forming at least one overlapping joining zone by tacking the first and second organic sheets together with a connecting part in the form of a third organic sheet, transferring the component preform to a joining tool, using the joining tool to form a joined component by connecting the organic sheets through melting and compression in the overlapping joining zone, and consolidating the joined component at least in the zone of the overlapping joining zone.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pultrusion process for the continuous production of blanks from a fibre-plastic composite material (23), an arrangement for carrying out a pultrusion process and use of the pultrusion process according to the invention and the arrangement according to the invention. The pultrusion process comprises at least the following process steps: i. providing a strand of unimpregnated fibres (21); ii. feeding the strand of unimpregnated fibres (21) to a vacuum device (5, 5?, 5?), which has at least one vacuum chamber (52, 52?, 52?); iii. generating a negative relative pressure in the at least one vacuum chamber (52, 52?, 52?) of the vacuum device (5, 5?, 5?), whereby air (200) escapes from the strand of unimpregnated fibres (21); iv.

Abstract: A side panel assembly for a passenger vehicle, includes a B-pillar made of fibre-reinforced plastics material, at least one further pillar made of fibre-reinforced plastics material and following in the rear direction, and a side panel made of fibre-reinforced plastics material and defining a portion of the skin of the passenger vehicle. According to the invention, to make it possible for a side panel assembly of this kind to offer high stiffness for absorbing operating and crash loads while being low-weight, to have a high surface quality, and to be economical to produce with short production times, the B-pillar includes a hollow pillar made of metal as a core element.
