- Process to manufacture composite material fibre-strengthened load-bearing structure e.g. tile or panel with intersecting external rib stiffeners

摘要

Claimed is a process to fabricate a load-bearing composite fibre-reinforced component e.g. tile or panel. The load-bearing section of the component has a skin incorporating two or more intersecting stiffening ribs that are integrated with the skin. The external intersection between adjacent ribs incorporates a flat gusset through with the load-bearing fibres are arranged in a single continuous plane.
