ABSTRACT:
Composite grid/frame structures are constructed from grid elements 36 arranged in a grid pattern and bonded together by a vacuum infiltration technique or, alternatively, a filament winding technique. Grid elements 36 are sliced cross-sections of pultruded or filament-wound tubing typically made from glass or graphite fiber and epoxy resin. Common cross-sectional shapes are square, rectangular, triangular, and circular. Finished two-dimensional grids 46 may be combined with longitudinal rods 48 to form three-dimensional frames for concrete reinforcement, engine containment, and many other applications.
