  • Vehicular duct system and duct support method utilizing a supportive and compliant skeleton
    Patent number: 10377226
    Abstract: An exemplary vehicular duct system includes, among other things, a duct wall of a first material composition, and a skeleton of a different, second material composition that is at least partially embedded within the duct wall. The skeleton is more compliant to an amount of force applied in a first direction than to the amount of force applied in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction. An exemplary duct support method includes, among other things, supporting a duct wall having a first material composition with a skeleton having a different, second material composition. At least a portion of the skeleton is embedded within the duct wall. The skeleton is more compliant to an amount of force applied in a first direction than a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
