Experimental Investigation of Possibilities Vacuum Infusion Technology to Produce Composite Ribs

Abstract

In the present work, mechanical properties and bending stiffness of composite structures with ribs are studied. The aim of this work was making ribbed composite structures in one step, where the ribs are inserted between glass reinforcement of composite system. In practice, the ribs on the composite structure (final products) are glued, but where there is a lower strength (according to the type of surface, the surface treatment, suitable bonding technology, the type of glue) and the adhesives are relatively expensive. The production of samples was used technology of vacuum infusion under flexible foil.
