Abstract

A bonded joint (40) comprises first and second pre-cured laminated members (42, 44) having opposed joining faces (48, 50) and a layer of adhesive (52) therebetween. A plurality of pins (46) extend through teach laminated member (42, 44) and into the adhesive layer (52). The pins (46) reinforce the laminated members (42, 44) and increase their resistance to delamination in the region of the joint (40) due to stress inducing loads. The pins (46) may be provided flush with the joining face (48, 50).

Description

Reinforced Joint
The present invention relates to the reinforcement of joints in laminated composite structures, and m particular, though not exclusively, to joints m laminated composite structures of aircraft
Composite laminates are weak m their through thickness direction and susceptible to failure due to tension sheer and peel stresses Bonded joints between laminated members are also prone to similar weaknesses Expeπence has shown that failure in bonded joints tends not to occur m the adhesive interface between the members but m the members themselves Typically failure is by delamination between the first and second plys of the laminate member
One solution to the abo\ e mentioned problem of delamination is shown in figure 1 which shows a cross-section through a joint, generally designated 10, comprising a skm
12 and upstand member-- 14. and an intermediate adhesive layer 16 To strengthen the joint l υ there a pro\ ιαed pms 18 which extend between the skm 12 and upstand members 16 and through the adhesive layer 16 A disadvantage of this arrangement is that upstand members 14 have to be co-cured with the skm 12, which may present problems if the skm 12 and upstand members 14 are to be sourced from different suppliers in an uncured state, and a curing operation must be earned out to join the components It should be noted that the adhesive layer 16 is optional when co-cuπng composite components as the resm impregnated in the components will form a bond of its own The adhesive layer 16 improves the strength of the joint 10 by modifying the local stress distribution
Continuing with the example of the joint 10 described above, it is a preferred manufacturing method to either cure the skm first and then co-bond the upstand members or vice versa To this end a joint of the type shown m figures 2a and 2b has been proposed A first pre-cured laminated member 20 is provided with pms 22 extending therethrough and projecting outwardly from one side A second laminated member 24 is then positioned over the first member 20 such that the pins 22 penetrate the second member 24 The second member 24 is then co-cured to the first member 20
The pm lengths may be chosen either fully or partially penetrate the thickness of the second member 24 A problem with this proposed solution is that the members 20,24 must supplied in a cured and uncured states respectively, and an additional cuπng step still must be earned out to assemble the members 20, 24
According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a pre-cured laminated component having a bonding face adapted to be bonded by a laver of adhesive to another article, the laminated component having elongate reinforcing means extending through the thickness thereof towards the bonding face
The reinforcing means reinforce the plys of the laminated member m the region of the bond and thus reduce the possibility of stress induced failure due to de-lamination of the laminated member
The reinforcing means may extend completely or partially through the thickness of the laminated component In a preferred embodiment the reinforcing means compnses a pm-hke member Preferably the laminated component is provided with a plurality of spaced pm-hke members The reinforcing means may be eqmdistantly spaced or grouped in a predetermined manner The configuration of such a grouping may be dependent upon anticipated stress levels m the bond, and/or the component
In one embodiment the reinforcing means terminate at the bonding face of the laminated component In an alternative embodiment the reinforcing means extend outwardly from the bonding face and, m use, into the adhesive layer In such an embodiment the reinforcing means projects from the bonding face a distance equal to or less than the thickness of the adhesive layer The laminated component may be -» provided with a combination of reinforcing means terminating at the bonding face and extending beyond the bonding face
According to a second aspect of the present invention there is provided a bonded joint assembly compnsmg a first pre-cured laminated member having a bonding face, a second pre-cured laminated member having a bonding face and a layer of adhesive interspersed between said bonding faces wherein at least one of said laminated members compnses a component according to the first aspect of the invention
Each of the laminated members may be provided with a pm-hke member In such an embodiment the pm-hke members of each laminated member may be substantially parallel The pm-hke members may be co-lmear
According to a third aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of reinforcing a pre-cured laminated member in the region of an adhesive bond, the method compnsmg the steps of providing a laminated member having a bonding face, providing an elongate reinforcing means in the laminated member, said reinforcing members extending through the thickness of the laminated member in the direction of the bonding face, cunng the laminated member; and bonding the cured laminated member with a layer of adhesive at the bonding face
The step of providing the reinforcing means m the laminated member may include the step of positioning the reinforcing means such that it terminates flush with the bonding face In an alternative embodiment the reinforcing means is positioned such that it extends from the bonding face a distance equal to or less than the adhesn e layer thickness.
Embodiments of the invention will now be descnbed with reference to the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 shows a cross-sectional side view of a first prior art joint type;
Figures 2a and 2b show cross -sectional side views of a second prior art joint type;
Figure 3 and 4 show cross-sectional side views of a joint in accordance with a first embodiment of the invention; and Figure 5 shows a cross-sectional side view of a joint in accordance with a further embodiment of the present invention.
Referring now to figures 3 and 4 there is shown a joint, generally designated 26, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 shows a skin 12 and upstand 14 arrangement as described above in relation to the prior art. Both the skm 12 and upstand members 14 have opposing joining faces 28, 30 between which the joint 26 is made. The skin 12 and upstand members 14 are shown to be separated and without an intermediate adhesive layer for the purpose of clarity in describing the joint 26. Both the skin 12 and upstand members 14 are provided with reinforcing pins 32 however, in contrast to the prior an, the pins do not extend across the joint 26 but terminate at the respective joining faces 28, 30.
In use, the pins 32 are inserted into the skin 12 and upstand members 14, and the skin and upstand members 12,14 are then pre-cured. The joint 26 can then be made by a simple adhesive bonding operation at an assembly site as opposed to a more complex curing operation. The skin and upstand members 12,14 can be sourced from different suppliers and the need for liaison therebetween with regard to compatibility of uncured sections, pin position and penetration depth is eliminated. Figure 4 shows a close-up view of the above described joint 26 between two members 34,36 and includes the adhesive layer 38.
Figure 5 shows an alternative joint, generally designated 40, between two pre-cured members 42, 44. Here, the reinforcing pins 46 do not stop at the joining faces 48, 50 but project into the adhesive layer 52. This arrangement improves mechanical keying, increases the effective surface area of the joint 40 and provides a mechanical means for transferring load between the joining faces 48,50 which reduces stress peaks. In figure 5 the pins 46 of each respective member 42, 44 are aligned with those of the other. It will be understood that the pins 46 could equally be arranged so as to be out of register with one another. Also, the pre-cured members 42, 44 may be provided with a mixture of pins 46 which both terminate at and project from the respective joining faces 48, 50.
