Integrally stiffened bonded panel with vented pockets and methods of manufacture

A method for forming a composite material component, said method comprising:

• orienting a plurality of composite material layers onto a tool to form a first composite material substrate, said first composite material substrate comprising a first composite material substrate thickness, said tool comprising a tooling surface, and said first composite material substrate further comprising:
• a first composite material substrate first surface, said first composite material substrate first surface positioned in contact with the tooling surface;
• a first composite material substrate second surface, said first composite material substrate second surface comprising an inner mold line;
• providing a second composite material substrate to the first composite material substrate second surface, said second composite material substrate comprising a second composite material substrate first surface and a second composite material substrate second surface, said second composite material substrate first surface configured to contact said first composite material substrate second surface;
• imparting said inner mold line from the first composite material substrate second surface to said second composite material substrate first surface;
• removing said second composite material substrate from said first composite material substrate second surface;
• at least partially curing the first composite material substrate;
• machining a plurality of recesses into the first composite material substrate second surface, said plurality of recesses configured to extend from the first composite material second surface to a predetermined distance into the first composite material substrate thickness to form a machined composite material substrate, said machined composite material substrate comprising a machined composite material substrate first surface and a machined composite material substrate second surface, said plurality of recesses each comprising a recess perimeter at the machined composite substrate material second surface;
• machining at least one channel into the first composite material substrate second surface, said at least one channel configured to intersect a plurality of recesses;
• orienting the second composite material substrate first surface onto the machined composite material substrate second surface;
• bonding the second composite material substrate first surface to the machined composite material substrate second surface to form a composite material component, said composite material component comprising at least one internal pathway;
• wherein said at least one internal pathway is bounded by the machined composite material substrate and the second composite material substrate first surface;
• and
• wherein said at least one internal pathway comprises a plurality of interconnected recesses.
