<p>Cored contoured composite structural members (2) and methods for making the same. The structural members (2) are of a contoured structure and comprise inner (4) and outer (8) materials with an intermediate supporting or stabilizing structure (6). The contoured structure of the structural member (2) can be provided by tube rolling or roll wrapping the inner (4) and outer (8) composite materials and the intermediate support structure (6) together and then, if necessary, bonding or connecting them. With a contoured and generally non-flat structure, the applications for the structural members (2) of the present invention are nearly limitless.</p> |
