  • Patent number: 11945177
    Abstract: A first laminated body is worked to form a second laminated body, the first laminated body being formed by laminating prepregs including reinforcing fibers and resin, the second laminated body including a flat portion and a wavy portion, the flat portion being located at at least one of side edge portions of the second laminated body, the wavy portion being located at a portion adjacent to the side edge portion and extending along a longitudinal direction. An intermediate product is formed from the second laminated body by a forming die such that the flat portion becomes a bent portion that is an inside portion whose circumferential length is shorter in a curved portion, and the wavy portion becomes a bent portion that is an outside portion whose circumferential length is longer in the curved portion.

  • Publication number: 20230271389
    Abstract: An aircraft structure (such as a T-shaped structure, a convex structure, a curved structure, or the like) includes: a laminated structure including composite-material layers that are laminated; and wherein the composite material aircraft structure is a three-dimensional structure that includes at least one of a standing structure, a convex structure, or a curved structure. The composite-material layers include at least a composite-material layer in which a reinforced fiber is a single continuous fiber, wherein the single continuous fiber includes a partial slit region. When a thickness of a flat-plate formed body including a same laminated structure as the aircraft structure but not including the three-dimensional structure, is defined as a reference thickness, the aircraft structure includes a thin plate region which has a thickness that is smaller than the reference thickness while maintaining the laminated structure.

  • Publication number: 20220389355
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multicellular construct that includes cells and a scaffold. The scaffold is constituted by a layered composite that comprises a gelatin nonwoven containing gelatin as a main component, and a gelatin film containing gelatin as a main component and layered on one surface of the gelatin nonwoven, and the cells are present in at least one of a region on the surface of the gelatin nonwoven and a region inside the nonwoven. The multicellular construct can be produced by arranging the scaffold in a swollen state inside the culture vessel whose inner surface is in the dry state such that the gelatin film of the scaffold is in contact with the inner bottom surface of the culture vessel, dripping a cell suspension onto the gelatin nonwoven of the scaffold, and then culturing the cells.
