Modular Joining of B-stage Cured Composite Element with Forming Process and Film Adhesive for Structural Application

Kurzfassung

Composite materials are largely used for structural application in aerospace programmes. One of the main advantages is the function integration with reduction of sub-element numbers. The objective is to propose a new methodology of bonding combining the utilisation of modular joining with forming process. This paper describes optimisation of the curing process to determine an appropriated B-stage cure cycle on injected parts. Mechanical properties and quality assessment of the bonded sample are also presented.
