Shaping graphite/epoxy stiffeners
Abstract
Layers of graphite/epoxy, tape stacked on ridges and in grooves of channel like ribs stiffen curved laminates. Twenty-five to 38 layers of tape on each cap and flange are vacuum-bagged into shape and then interleaved with plies of fabric to form light-weight structural members free of wrinkles and voids. Structure could be parts for cars, trucks, and other vehicles.
