Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A composite material structure is provided a metal member and a resin member. The metal member is formed in a planar shape that has a main surface. The resin member is bonded to the main surface of the metal member. The metal member has a thermal expansion coefficient in a first direction along the main surface is larger than a thermal expansion coefficient in a second direction along the main surface. The second direction is orthogonal to the first direction. The resin member is formed of a fiber-reinforced resin having a fiber quantity in the second direction that is larger than a fiber quantity in the first direction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A composite material structure comprising: a metal member formed in a planar shape, the metal member having a main surface with a first thermal expansion coefficient in a first direction along the main surface that is larger than a second thermal expansion coefficient in a second direction along the main surface, the second direction being orthogonal to the first direction; and a resin member bonded to the main surface of the metal member, and made of fiber-reinforced resin having a fiber quantity along the second direction that is larger than a fiber quantity along the first direction. 2. The composite material structure according to claim 1 , wherein the metal member is formed such that main surface is continuous in the first direction and discontinuous in the second direction. 3. The composite material structure according to claim 1 , wherein the main surface of the metal member and the resin member are bonded to each other by an adhesive; and the adhesive has thin walled portions that are formed to have a smaller thickness than other portions of the adhesive. 4. The composite material structure according to claim 3 , wherein the thin walled portions of the adhesive are periodically positioned in the second direction. 5. The composite material structure according to claim 2 , wherein the main surface of the metal member and the resin member are bonded to each other by an adhesive; and the adhesive has thin walled portions that are formed to have a smaller thickness than other portions of the adhesive. 6. The composite material structure according to claim 2 , wherein the main surface of the metal member and the resin member are bonded to each other by an adhesive; and the adhesive has thin walled portions that are formed to have a smaller thickness than other portions of the adhesive, the thin walled portions of the adhesive are periodically positioned in the second direction.
