Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A process for the production of a part made of composite material including at least one radius of curvature, includes a stage for deposition of pre-impregnated fiber layers ( 24 ) on a device ( 22 ) of convex shape on one another and for compacting the layers, characterized in that localized and repeated forces are applied in such a way as to cover the zone of the radius of curvature, at a given instant the forces being applied on a zone that is less than half of the zone of the radius of curvature, so as to compact the fiber layers ( 24 ) locally during the deposition stage.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of producing a part made of composite material having at least one radius of curvature, the method comprising: depositing pre-impregnated fiber layers on one another on a device having a convex shape on and compacting the layers by applying localized and repeated forces by successively passing a point support perpendicular to the radius of curvature over portions of an entire zone of the radius of curvature at different angles to cover the ent…
