Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A manufacturing method of a reinforced structure includes a step of preparing a stringer that has a fiber exposed surface, a step of disposing an electrically conductive protection member on the fiber exposed surface to cover at least a part of the fiber exposed surface, a step of arranging the stringer on a skin having an uncured resin component, and a step of curing the skin after the arranging. The electrically conductive protection member includes a composite material made of combination of a resin component and an electrically conductive fiber component. The step of curing includes curing the skin and the electrically conductive protection member simultaneously. The manufacturing method can prevent edge glow without increasing the number of production steps.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A manufacturing method of a reinforced structure comprising: preparing a stringer having a fiber exposed surface; disposing an electrically conductive protection member on the fiber exposed surface to cover at least a part of the fiber exposed surface; arranging the stringer on a skin having an uncured resin component; and curing the skin after the step of arranging the stringer, wherein the electrically conductive protection member includes a composite material made of combination of a resin component and an electrically conductive fiber component, wherein the step of curing the skin includes curing the skin and the electrically conductive protection member simultaneously, wherein the stringer has a plate portion, wherein the plate portion includes: an adhesion surface to be adhered to the skin; and an end surface, wherein the fiber exposed surface is formed in the end surface of the plate portion, and wherein the step of disposing an electrically conductive protection member includes disposing the electrically conductive protection member on a part of the end surface such that the electrically conductive protection member and the adhesion surface are separated from each other. 2 - 4 . (canceled) 5 . The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the electrically conductive fiber component includes a carbon fiber. 6 . The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of preparing a stringer includes: preparing a cured carbon fiber reinforced plastic material; and obtaining the stringer by processing a part of the cured carbon fiber reinforced plastic material. 7 . The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the skin includes a carbon fiber reinforced plastic material. 8 . The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of curing the skin includes curing the skin and the electrically conductive protection member with heat and pressure.
