Publication number: 20160033040Abstract: A component to be repaired includes a relatively rigid plate. On a surface that may have been subject to fracture, a resin material is first laid down, then a relatively flexible material is positioned outwardly of the resin material to repair the barrier. A part may also be formed initially with the flexible material. In another feature of this application, a method of forming a barrier includes providing a composite material, and applying a relatively flexible material on a surface of the composite material, and concurrently molding the relatively flexible material with the composite material using a composite mold.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2015Publication date: February 4, 2016Inventors: Ted H.

Patent number: 9200517Abstract: A repair device and method for repairing a forward frame v-blade on an aircraft engine are described in which the repair device replaces a section of the forward frame v-blade. In one embodiment, the repair device includes a repair part and a splice plate, the combination of which is secured to the forward frame v-blade. The repair part includes a repair part web and a pair of stiffening legs with a leg thickness that is greater that the thickness of corresponding flanges on the forward frame v-blade. The splice plate is configured to accommodate for the increased thickness of the stiffening legs, providing by way of example a reduced thickness area compatible with the repair part. Fasteners such as rivets are used to couple the repair device to the splice plate, and to couple the splice plate to the forward frame v-blade.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2014Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventors: Brian Kenneth Holland, Michael J. Madel, Jr., William Bogue
