    Abstract: A fiber structure includes a cylindrical body that has a plurality of fiber layers including: a first fiber layer including at least one of a first yarn and a second yarn; and a second fiber layer including the first yarn and the second yarn. The first yarn and the second yarn are formed of reinforced fibers. The first fiber layer does not include interlaced sections in which the second yarn is interlaced with the first yarn. One of the fiber layers that forms an inner surface of the cylindrical body serves as an innermost layer. Another one of the fiber layers that forms an outer surface of the cylindrical body serves as an outermost layer.

  • Publication number: 20220134606
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a pressure container includes thermally curing a thermosetting resin with which a fiber-reinforced base material is impregnated. The thermally curing step includes thermally curing the thermosetting resin by heat exchange with a fluid supplied to an inside of a liner; and thermally curing the thermosetting resin by heating from an outer surface side of the fiber-reinforced base material. A temperature of the fluid supplied to the inside of the liner is higher than a temperature of the helating from the outer surface side of the fiber-reinforced base material so that the thermosetting resin is thermally cured from an inner surface side of the fiber-reinforced base material adjacent to the liner before the outer surface side of the fiber-reinforced base material.
