METHOD OF ATTACHING A COMPOSITE MEMBER TO A STRUCTURE

摘要

A method of attaching a composite member to a structure is provided. The method includes forming a laminate of fabric impregnated with resin; applying an adhesive to an area of the structure needing repair; positioning the impregnated laminated on the adhesive applied the area of the structure needing repair; applying a single vacuum enclosure over the laminate and the adhesive; applying heat at a first temperature to the impregnated laminate; applying a partial vacuum at a first vacuum pressure within the single vacuum enclosure to the impregnated laminate to degas the resin in the impregnated laminate and form a degassed laminate; and curing the degassed laminate and adhesive on the area of the structure needing repair by applying heat at a second temperature and by applying vacuum at a second vacuum pressure within the single vacuum enclosure, the second vacuum pressure greater than the first vacuum pressure.
