METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REWORKING STRUCTURES USING RESIN INFUSION OF FIBER PREFORMS

摘要

An area of a structure is reworked using resin infusion of a fiber preform. A resin flow hole is formed through the structure from a first side of the structure to a second side of the structure. The fiber preform is placed on the first side of the structure and substantially saturated with resin by flowing resin into the preform and out through the resin flow hole to the second side of the structure.
