A method for manufacturing a structural assembly comprising at least two assembly components interconnected by means of a thermoplastic plastics material, and useful in the field of aviation or space travel. First, a first assembly component and a second assembly component are provided and arranged so as to form an arrangement. Second, the arrangement is subjected to creep forming at a temperature which is selected in such a way that the thermoplastic plastics material melts at least in part during the creep forming so as to connect the first assembly component and the second assembly component. The invention further relates to structural assemblies, in particular for an aircraft or spacecraft, and to an aircraft or spacecraft comprising a structural assembly of this type.

An apparatus for trimming a sheet metal panel in a die set. A grinding tool including a grinding wheel driven by a rotary drive is used to grind away a shear affected zone from the trimmed edge formed by the trim steel. The grinding tool is disposed within a cavity defined by the reciprocating die and is oriented to grind away a shear affected zone as the reciprocating die moves the grinding tool into engagement with the trimmed edge.

A conduit (100) for transporting a fluid comprises a first collar (102), a second collar (103), and a bellows (108). The bellows (108) comprises a corrugated inboard ply (110), a corrugated outboard ply (112), and an interstitial space (126), interposed between the corrugated inboard ply (110) and the corrugated outboard ply (112). The conduit additionally comprises a second weld (138), hermetically coupling the corrugated inboard ply (110) and a first outer collar portion (104), a third weld (134), hermetically coupling the corrugated outboard ply (112) and a first inner collar portion (106), a fourth weld (186), hermetically coupling the corrugated inboard ply (110) and a second outer collar portion (105), a fifth weld (184), hermetically coupling the corrugated outboard ply (112) and a second inner collar portion (107), and a first sensor (116), communicatively coupled with the interstitial space (126).
