ABSTRACT:
A method of forming a unitary, composite structural member, and a member formed in accordance with the process. The process involves stitching a plurality of warp knit panel sections together to generally form a plurality of independent panel sections. The sections are placed within the dies of a molding tool such that a rib portion of each section aligns. Inflatable bladders are then slipped into voids formed in between the various panel sections of the assembly. The bladders are inflated to hold with one another. Resin is then infused into the panels that make up the assembly. The assembly is then cured. When the panels are removed from the molding tool a unitary, complexly shaped, composite structural member is formed.
