WIRE ADAPTED FOR INTEGRATION WITH STRUCTURAL MEMBER, STRUCTURAL MEMBER HAVING AT LEAST ONE INTEGRATED WIRE, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF WIRE INTEGRATED WITH STRUCTURAL MEMBER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wire which can be integrated with a structural member and can function in a severe environmental condition.;SOLUTION: This wire is formed of a plurality of non-linear ropes that are arranged at the structural member in a nearly longitudinal direction. The ropes can be entangled, for example in a braid structure or an interweave structure. Each rope is formed of fiber that can be covered by a conductive metal, and also a strand of the conductive metal can be entangled with the fiber or rope, thereby the wire can make electrical communication possible for transmitting an electrical signal or electrical power. A structural material is arranged between the ropes, and the ropes are jointed to the structural member.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
