Abstract
A skeleton structure member made by disposing a solidified granular bulk material obtained by bonding together and thereby solidifying multiple granules inside a skeleton member of a transport machine and/or a space bounded by a skeleton member and a panel member peripheral thereto. In the solidified granular bulk material, the granules are bonded together by surface fusion and an internal pressure is created by expansion.
Claims2
A skeleton structure member made by disposing a solidified granular bulk material obtained by bonding together and thereby solidifying multiple granules inside a skeleton member of a transport machine and/or a space bounded by the skeleton member and a panel member peripheral thereto,
- wherein, in the solidified granular bulk material, the granules are bonded together by surface fusion and an internal pressure is created by expansion.
A method for manufacturing a skeleton structure member made by disposing a solidified granular bulk material obtained by bonding together and thereby solidifying multiple granules inside a skeleton member of a transport machine and/or a space bounded by the skeleton member and a panel member peripheral thereto,
- said method including the steps of placing granules, which are made by wrapping a core substance consisting of a liquid or a solid with a film, into the skeleton member and/or space in an unexpanded state, and,
- heating the granules and thereby causing the granules to expand.
