  • METHOD OF MANUFACTURING RESIN INFUSED COMPOSITE PARTS USING A PERFORATED CAUL SHEET
    Publication number: 20130264751
    Abstract: Resin infused composite parts are fabricated using a caul sheet having perforations therein for optimizing the flow of resin through the parts. The method allows for a simplified tooling and consumable arrangement for complex parts while achieving a smooth, aerodynamic caul-side or bag-side finish. The component may be placed in direct contact with a tool, and the caul sheet may be placed in direct contact with the component thereby eliminating the necessity for consumables between these items.

  • COMPOSITE STRUCTURES HAVING INTEGRATED STIFFENERS WITH SMOOTH RUNOUTS AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20120052247
    Abstract: A unitized composite structure comprises a composite member having at least one integrally formed composite stiffener. At least one end of the stiffener includes a runout forming a substantially smooth transition between the stiffener and the composite structure.

  • COMPOSITE STRUCTURES HAVING INTEGRATED STIFFENERS AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20110315824
    Abstract: A composite structure is made by placing a stiffener preform and a composite structure reinforcement on a tool. The preform and the reinforcement are vacuum bagged processed and co-infused with a thermoset resin to form a stiffened, unitized structure.
