FIBER REINFORCED CORE PANEL ABLE TO BE CONTOURED

摘要

A fiber reinforced core panel contains a series of adjacent, substantially parallel low density strips and a continuous fibrous reinforcement sheet threaded through the low density strips. The low density strips have at least three faces (a major face, a first edge face, a second edge face, and optionally a minor face) where the major face of each strip is disposed within the first or second side of the core panel. At least a portion of the low density strips comprise a series of cuts, where the cuts originate in the major or minor face and the cuts extend through only a portion of the thickness of the strips.
