Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for infiltrating a fiber preform of a component of fiber composite material with a matrix material. On the method side, it is proposed that an elastic coating (3) is applied onto the fiber preform (1, 23, 37), wherein the elastic coating (3) is widened to form a gap space (22) between the fiber preform (1) and the coating (3). The matrix material (21) is then fed into the gap space (22) and the elastic coating (3) is subsequently pressed against the fiber preform (1, 23, 37). On the device side, it is claimed that an elastic coating (3) is arranged on the fiber preform (1, 23, 37) and means are provided, which are in operative connection with the elastic coating (3), by which the coating (3) can be widened while forming a gap space (22) between the fiber preform (1, 23, 37) and the coating (3). A matrix material (21) can be fed into the gap space (22) and the coating (3) can be pressed against the fiber preform (1, 23, 37).

Abstract

The invention relates to a layer-shaped semifinished product, which has a layer sequence (3), which contains at least one layer of an unconsolidated reinforcing-fiber construction. Said layer sequence is arranged under vacuum between an upper film (2) and a lower film (1) made of thermoplastic matrix material, which are connected to each other peripherally in a pressure-retaining manner. Advantageous developments of the layer-shaped semifinished product according to the invention provide for preforming of the semifinished product and the introduction of metal inserts (31) or other components into the semifinished product. The invention further relates to a method for producing the layer-shaped semifinished product according to the invention.

Abstract

The invention relates to a connecting arrangement for connecting a fibre composite component (1) to a second component (2) and to a method for producing such a connecting arrangement. Starting from the object of providing a low-complexity, cost-effective and high-strength connection between a component of fibre composite material (1) and a second component (2) and making available a corresponding cost-effective method for producing such a connection, a connecting arrangement and a corresponding method for producing it are proposed in which the second component (2) has at least one flat portion (3) with one or a plurality of cutouts (6) passing through the flat portion (3), and the flat portion (3) is arranged between at least two part layers (4, 5) of the fibre composite component (1), wherein at least one of the part layers (4, 5) is designed to be formed into the cutout(s) (6).

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for introducing force into a component of fibre composite material by means of a screw connection having a bolt-like connecting element arranged in a passage of the component. The invention is based in particular on the object of improving the durability of the screw connection on the component of fibre composite material. The object is achieved in that the screw connection has a two-part bush (6) which borders the passage (2) of the component (1) and accommodates the connecting element (9), wherein the first and the second bush part (6.1, 6.2) of the bush (6) are designed to engage in one another in axial extension, and each bush part (6.1, 6.2) has a radially extended union collar (15.1, 15.2) with a collar side (16.1, 16.2) facing the component (1), on which side a sliding surface is formed.

Abstract

A plastic spring having a corrugated tubular body with connection surfaces at its ends for transmitting force between two structural component parts which are movable relative to one another. A connection surface of the plastic spring is constructed as a tubular body which engages in a cup element of one of the supporting structural component parts. The cup element can be filled with a displacement mass, and the tubular body accordingly carries out a displacing movement within the cup element for axially adjusting the preloading of the plastic spring.
