METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A COMPOSITE MATERIAL CONNECTING ROD

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of fabricating a rod of composite material from a fiber preform comprising a certain number of primary fiber plies connected together by links allowing plies to slide relative to one another while the preform is being shaped, the preform including a central portion for constituting the body of the rod and including two opposite side portions, together with extensions for forming lugs of the rod, which method includes the step of shaping the fiber preform so as to give it a hollow shape while keeping the two opposite side portions spaced apart so as to give the fiber preform an open profile in its central portion, followed by injecting resin and causing it to polymerize.
