Abstract
A method for producing a part made of composite material includes adding a thermoplastic or thermosetting matrix around a preform of a reinforcing fiber mesh made by filament winding around the spurs or the like of a frame. There is winding in addition to the fibers on one or several reels within the matrix, the axes of the spurs or the like and those of the one or more reels having different orientations, so as to provide the mesh of fibers with a three-dimensional shape.
Claims6
A method for composite material, the method comprising the steps of:
- assembling a plurality of reels, each reel of said plurality of reels being comprised of a shaft along an axis so as to define a reel plane perpendicular to said axis and a plurality of lateral flanges at each end of said shaft, each reel of said plurality of reels having one side and an opposite side;
- winding a plurality of initial fibers around a respective shaft of a corresponding reel of said plurality of reels between a respective plurality of lateral flanges of said corresponding reel of said plurality of reels under tension so as to form an initial wind with a knot with initial resistance, an initial reel plane, and an initial rigidity;
- winding a plurality of bar fibers from said initial wind to another reel so as to form a bar under tension with bar resistance, a bar reel plane, and a bar rigidity after said knot, said bar reel plane being different from said initial reel plane, said bar resistance being different from said initial resistance, said bar rigidity being different from said initial rigidity, said plurality of bar fibers being comprised of a first bar fiber on said one side of said corresponding reel and a second bar fiber on said opposite side of said corresponding reel;
- winding a plurality of consolidation fibers around said respective shaft of said corresponding reel of said plurality of reels so as form a consolidation wind, after the initial wind and after winding said first bar fiber of said bar, said initial wind, said bar, and said consolidation wind forming a reinforcing-fiber mesh;
- and
- adding a matrix around said reinforcing-fiber mesh so as to produce part with a three-dimensional shape based on said initial reel plane and said bar reel plane.
