A REINFORCED STRUCTURE AND A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A REINFORCED STRUCTURE

摘要

The present invention relates to a reinforced structure (1) and a method for manufacturing a reinforced structure (1) of composite material. The reinforced structure (1) comprises a stiffening element (2) which is attached to the concave surface (37) of a shell element (3). The stiffening element (2) comprises a first profile (5A) and a second profile (5B) connected to each other and forming a web (9). The stiffening element (2) further comprises a reinforcing element (7) of composite material having at least one forming bulge (21) on each of its respective sides (31and 33). The forming bulges (21) extend from an outer edge (27) of the reinforcing element (7) to an inner edge (29) of reinforcing element (7). The height of the at least two forming bulges (21) is highest at the outer edge (27), tapers towards the inner edge (29) and is levelled out at the inner edge (29). The reinforcing element (7) is positioned between the first profile (5A) and the second profile (5B) and forms the web (9) of the stiffening element (2).
