US Patent:

20090169833, Jul 2, 2009
Filed:

Sep 30, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/241220
Inventors:

Robert KOON - Acworth GA, US
Stephen P. ENGELSTAD - Marietta GA, US
Brian TATTING - Schenectady NY, US
Zafer GURDAL - Blacksburg VA, US
International Classification:

B32B 5/00
B29C 65/00
US Classification:

4281951, 1563071
Abstract:

Described herein are composites that are composed of a plurality of plies with a stiffening grid intimately embedded within the composite. The composite structures have the improved buckling performance characteristics of known isogrid and orthogrid composite structures and yet have a significantly higher damage tolerance that permits such structures to be used in the formation of aircraft and spacecraft designs. Also described herein are methods for making the composites.
