Continuous-Filament Isogrid Composite Panel
Abstract
Damaged panels do not fail catastrophically when fabricated this way. Isogrid stiffener formed in slotted silicon-rubber tool. At grid intersections, slots offset to prevent excessive buildup of composite material and widened to give room for overlapping filaments to spread when compressed. Following total failure of skin, isogrid stiffener still carries 350 kN/m (2,000 1b/in.) and remains intact.
