  • Patent number: 9919480
    Abstract: A method for producing a textile preform includes manufacturing a multi-layer fiber fabric, which includes a first flange portion and a web portion connected to the first flange portion, deforming a first fiber layer of the first flange portion with respect to the web portion, such that the first fiber layer is at a first flange portion angle to the web portion, a web height of the web portion being set in a variable manner during the deformation of the first fiber layer, and depositing a unidirectional fiber fabric only on the deformed first fiber layer of the first flange portion.

  • Patent number: 9186842
    Abstract: Method for manufacturing a dry textile preform, including: pulling a textile fabric sheet; grabbing a first side portion of the sheet between rollers, the rollers forming a first flange of the first side portion of the sheet inclined at a predeterminable angle to the plane of extension of the sheet; grabbing a second side portion of the sheet opposite to the first side portion between other rollers, the other rollers forming a second flange of the second side portion of the sheet inclined at a predeterminable angle to the plane of extension of the sheet; adjusting a difference between the rolling speed of the pair of first rollers and the rolling speed of the pair of second rollers to form a curvature radius of the sheet; and adjusting distance between the rollers perpendicular to the movement direction of the sheet to form a web portion between the first flange.

  • Publication number: 20140053936
    Abstract: An infusion method for manufacturing a fiber-reinforced composite component. The composite component is evacuated and at least two separated flow fronts of matrix material are spread out in the composite component. At least one of the flow fronts is decelerated and/or guided in respect to its flow directing relative to the other flow front by a control element that is incorporated in a component area of the composite component. Also disclosed is a structure for performing such infusion method wherein the control element is arranged between the construction components, wherein in at least one component area a control element is incorporated in the composite component for decelerating at least one flow front and/or guiding a flow front in respect to its flow directing relative to another flow front through the composite component.
