Abstract
T-stiffened skins were fabricated from carbon fibre/bismaleimide unidirectional prepregs by integral moulding and co-bonding in an autoclave and the effect of filler content and structural parameters (curvature and ply sequence) on the compaction of the skins investigated. Measurements of final laminate thickness of the T-stiffeners after cure and observation of defects located in the intersection between stiffeners and skins allowed conclusions to be made about the effect of fillers and structural parameters on compaction of the skins. 20 refs.
