  • Enhanced through-thickness resin infusion for a wind turbine composite laminate
    Patent number: 11225942
    Abstract: A wind turbine composite laminate component and method for producing it is disclosed as initially assembling a laminated structure having at least two reinforced layers and a plurality of interleaf layers positioned adjacent to one of the at least two reinforced layers. Then placing the laminated structure into a mold where resin is sequentially and independently transferred into each of the plurality of interleaf layers. Then curing the transferred resin in the laminated structure to form a composite laminate component having the at least two reinforced layers, the plurality of interleaf layers, and cured resin.
    Type: Grant
