MODULAR TUBE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING
The invention provides a tube for use as part of a structural support pole, and a method for manufacturing a tube, comprising a plurality of tube perimeter sections, wherein each tube perimeter section of the first plurality of tube perimeter sections is formed by pultrusion, each tube perimeter section of the first plurality of tube perimeter sections having the same pultrusion cross-sectional shape, and wherein each tube perimeter section comprises: an outer surface; an inner surface; a side surface; and a cavity between the inner surface and the outer surface, wherein the cavity extends through the tube perimeter section. The side surface is adapted to be fastened to an adjacent side surface of an adjacent tube perimeter section, thereby to form an annular arrangement of tube perimeter sections. The tube further comprises a first filament, wherein the first filament is wound about the outer surfaces of the first plurality of tube perimeter sections arranged in an annular arrangement.

HELICALLY WOUND PIPE AND RELATED METHOD
A pipe includes an elongate strip wound into a tubular pipe form with the upper surface and the ribs at an exterior of the tubular pipe form, and with a first portion of a first side overlapping a first portion of a second side along a helical joint. A plastic seam weld is applied between the overlapping first portions for bonding the overlapping first portions together. A plastic overweld extends over the overlapping first portions and over both a second portion of the first side and a second portion of the second side. The second portion of the first side is adjacent to the first portion of the first side and does not overlap with any part of the second side, and the second portion of the second side is adjacent to the first portion of the second side and does not overlap any part of the first side.
Methods of producing thermoplastic composites using fabric-based thermoplastic prepregs
A thermoplastic product includes a fabric-based reinforcing sheet and a polymerized thermoplastic material. The fabric-based reinforcing sheet is wound about a mandrel to form a plurality of layers having a cross-sectional shape that corresponds to the mandrel.
