輪郭に合致した複合構造物を生産する方法

摘要

A method is provided for forming a composite part contoured along its length and having at least one leg. The method includes forming a stack of fiber reinforced, pre-preg plies by laying down individual segments of unidirectional fibers in each ply. Each of the segments is placed in a preselected orientation related to the contour of the part. The leg is formed by bending a portion of the stack over a tool.
