Claims10
A flexure comprising:
- a plurality of plies of composite material consolidated everywhere except at at least one predefined region where preselected adjacent plies are purposefully delaminated so they can move relative to each other when the flexure is bent.
A flexure comprising:
- a number of plies of composite material consolidated everywhere except at at least one predefined region where preselected adjacent plies are purposefully delaminated so they can move relative to each other when the flexure is bent, the plies group together in a number of consolidated layers except at the predefined region where there is no consolidation between adjacent layers.
A flexure comprising:
- a plurality of plies of composite material consolidated everywhere except at at least one predefined region where preselected adjacent plies are purposely delaminated so that they can move relative to each other when the flexure is bent, the flexure including a number of consolidated layers each including a plurality of plies except at the predefined region where there are less layers and no consolidation between adjacent layers.
A composite flexure.
