Abstract
A method is provided for mounting a fiber composite component in the force flow of a clamping connection. The fiber composite material is heated and locally compressed in a mounting region such that the fiber composite material sets by a predefined measure. The fiber composite component is then clamped in the mounting region.
Claims16
A method for mounting a fiber composite component in a force flow of a clamping connection, the method comprising the acts of:
- heating the fiber composite component;
- locally compressing the heated fiber composite component in an assembly region such that the fiber composite component has a reduced thickness in the assembly region of the fiber composite component to produce in the assembly region an accelerated settlement operation in which the reduced thickness corresponds to a natural settlement operation without prior compressing and heating;
- introducing a first through-opening into the fiber composite component in the assembly region;
- and
- clamping the fiber composite component in the assembly region to a component by a securing device disposed through the first through-opening of the fiber composite component and a second through-opening of the component.
