<p>: The invention provides a composite laminate joint structure for joining articles, e.g. pipes, made of multiple ply composite laminates, and a method for forming such a joint structure. The joint structure comprises a first ply of strands disposed perpendicularly to the axis of the structure, this ply having an exterior surface at one end tapered at an angle of between 5.degree. to 15.degree. when viewed in cross-section relative to the axis. A second ply of strands disposed transversely of the first ply overlies the first ply and extends generally axially. The second ply has a taper where it overlies the end of the first ply. A third ply of strands is disposed transversely of the second ply and overlies the second ply to extend perpendicularly to the axis. The third ply has a flange on the tapered end of the second ply. A hardened adhesive impregnates and bonds all three plies together in a common bonding matrix to maintain the flanged and tapered end configuration.</p> |
