  • Method and device for producing a fiber composite component and fiber composite component
    Patent number: 10464266
    Abstract: A method and a device are provided for producing a fiber composite component. The method includes preparing a long-fiber layer; applying short fibers to the long-fiber layer; and applying a further long-fiber layer to the long-fiber layer provided with the short fibers. The device is configured to carry out the method. The fiber composite component has a layer arrangement composed of at least two long-fiber layers, wherein the layer arrangement has an addition of short fibers. The short fibers are configured and dimensioned and are applied in such a way or are in such an arrangement that propagation of tears in one of the long-fiber layers into in each case the other or an adjacent one of the long-fiber layers and/or delamination between the long-fiber layers is rendered more difficult.
