  • Publication number: 20250033317
    Abstract: A method for stiffening a sheet element is provided. In this regard, the method preferably includes a first step of providing stiffening modules that have a flange and at least one web. Furthermore, the stiffening modules are preferably attached to the sheet element sequentially along a load path, the stiffening modules are connected to each other via their respective flanges using connecting means and/or joining methods for a positive, frictional and/or materially bonded connection to form a stiffening structure, such that the stiffening modules have a combined effect, specifically stiffening and reinforcing the sheet element. A stiffening structure for a sheet element is also provided that includes stiffening modules arranged sequentially, and to a stiffening system including a stiffening structure and a sheet element.

  • Patent number: 12138894
    Abstract: A method for stiffening a sheet element is provided. The method includes a first step of providing stiffening modules each having a flange and at least one web. The stiffening modules are attached to the sheet element sequentially along a load path, where the stiffening modules are connected to each other via their respective flanges for a positive, frictional and/or materially bonded connection to form a stiffening structure, such that the stiffening modules have a combined effect, specifically stiffening and reinforcing the sheet element. A stiffening structure for a sheet element is also provided that has a plurality of stiffening modules arranged sequentially, and to a stiffening system that includes a stiffening structure and a sheet element.

  • Publication number: 20220016865
    Abstract: The invention preferably relates to a method for stiffening a sheet element. In this regard, the method preferably comprises a first step of providing stiffening modules comprising a flange and at least one web. Furthermore, the stiffening modules are preferably attached to the sheet element sequentially along a load path, wherein the stiffening modules are connected to each other via their respective flanges using connecting means and/or joining methods for a positive, frictional and/or materially bonded connection to form a stiffening structure, such that the stiffening modules have a combined effect, specifically stiffening and reinforcing the sheet element. The invention also preferably relates to a stiffening structure for a sheet element comprising a plurality of stiffening modules arranged sequentially, and to a stiffening system comprising a stiffening structure and a sheet element.
