Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of forming an iso-grid structure may include filling multiple pockets of the iso-grid structure with a filler material, attaching a support structure to the perimeter of the iso-grid structure, shaping the iso-grid and support structures, and removing the support structure from the iso-grid structure. The support structure may be thinned and stretched during the shaping process.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of forming an iso-grid structure, the method comprising: filling multiple pockets of the iso-grid structure with a filler material; attaching a support structure to the perimeter of the iso-grid structure; shaping the iso-grid and support structures, wherein the support structure is thinned and stretched during the shaping; and removing the support structure from the iso-grid structure. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the iso-grid structure has a face having multiple pockets, and the support structure is attached to the face of the iso-grid structure. 3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising attaching a second support structure to the iso-grid structure, wherein the second support structure is attached to a face of iso-grid structure opposite the support structure. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein both the iso-grid structure and the support structure are substantially flat during the attaching. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the filler material is a curable resin. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the support structure is attached to the iso-grid structure using at least one of welding, brazing, or mechanically fastening. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the support structure is attached to the entire perimeter of the iso-grid structure. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the support structure is attached to a portion of the perimeter of the iso-grid structure. 9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the support structure is attached to at least 50% of the perimeter of the iso-grid structure. 10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the support structure is attached on opposite edges of the perimeter of the iso-grid structure. 11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the support structure is attached at multiple attachment points of the perimeter of the iso-grid structure. 12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the shaping comprises an application of at least one of rollers and male/female forming dies. 13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the removing the support structure from the iso-grid structure comprises cutting off the edges of the iso-grid and support structures.
