Abstract: A method of producing a single assembled longitudinally extending fibre layer for use in a later resin infusion process for manufacturing a fibre-reinforced composite structure is described including steps: a) providing a first fibre mat comprising unidirectional reinforcement fibres oriented in a longitudinal direction of the first fibre mat, b) providing a second fibre mat comprising unidirectional reinforcement fibres oriented in a longitudinal direction of the second fibre mat, c) arranging the first fibre mat and the second fibre mat so that unidirectional fibres of one end of the first fibre mat adjoin one end of the second fibre mat in a single plane at a common boundary, and d) splicing unidirectional fibres of the first fibre mat at one end of the first fibre mat to unidirectional fibres of the second fibre mat at one end of the second fibre mat in order to form a splicing joint.

Abstract: The invention relates to a flexible pipe. Such flexible pipe has a length and comprises a tubular inner sealing sheath surrounding an axis and defining a bore; at least one pressure armor and at least one tensile armor comprising one or more layers. The pressure armor and the tensile armor are non-bonded relative to each other. In the flexible pipe of the invention, the pressure armor comprises a sandwich structure comprising a polymer structure and a first and a second strength imparting layer arranged on either side of said polymer structure and locked or bonded to the polymer structure. The flexible pipe has a high strength and can be manufactured in a cost effective manner.
