Abstract
A matrix of materials includes a plurality of continuous reinforcing fibers woven together into a tubular form and pultruded in a first direction to form a matrix of materials. The continuous reinforcing fibers are positioned at an off-axis angle relative to the first direction. The tubular form that results is seamless.
Claims17
A matrix of materials comprising:
- a plurality of continuous reinforcing fibers woven together into a tubular form and pultruded in a first direction to form a matrix of materials, wherein the continuous reinforcing fibers are positioned at an off-axis angle relative to the first direction within the tubular form such that the matrix of materials is seamless.
A pultrusion process that includes pulling of material in a first direction comprising:
- using a continuous fiber reinforcement in the pulling of material during the pultrusion process to form a matrix of material, with the continuous fiber reinforcement being placed in an off-axis angle relative to the first direction to produce a tubular member that is seamless.
