A fiber reinforced resin hollow molded body 30 in which a resin-integrated fiber sheet is used. The resin-integrated fiber sheet includes unidirectional continuous fibers that are spread fibers of a continuous fiber group and arrayed unidirectionally in parallel, and thermoplastic resin that is present at least on a surface of the unidirectional continuous fibers. In the hollow molded body, in a state where the resin-integrated fiber sheet or a plurality of the resin-integrated fiber sheets 30 are stacked, the resin-integrated fiber sheet or the plurality of resin-integrated fiber sheets are wound to produce a wound body having an overlapping portion. The thermoplastic resin is impregnated in the unidirectional continuous fibers. The resin-integrated fiber sheet or the plurality of resin-integrated fiber sheets are consolidated.

A battery tray is provided and includes a first component and a second component. The first component includes a first set of walls, where the first set of walls includes a first stitched fabric, and where the first stitched fabric includes first metal coated fibers. The second component includes a second set of walls, where: the second set of walls includes a second stitched fabric; the second stitched fabric includes second metal coated fibers; and the second component is attached to the first component to form the battery tray, which is configured to hold a battery pack of a vehicle. The first metal coated fibers and the second metal coated fibers provide an electromagnetic shield surrounding the battery pack.

An object of the present invention is to provide a stitched fiber-reinforced substrate material capable of suppressing the formation of microcracks in a fiber reinforced composite material. The stitched fiber-reinforced substrate material of the present invention is a fiber-reinforced substrate material formed by stitching reinforcement fiber sheets made of reinforcement fibers using stitching yarns, and the stitching yarn has a linear expansion coefficient in the fiber axial direction of −1×10.sup.−6 to 70×10.sup.−6/K after being heated at 180° C. for 2 hours and then cooled. The stitching yarn is preferably a stitching yarn to which an organic compound having a polar group is adhered.

A case for a gas turbine engine includes a containment section with a plurality of unidirectional roving fiber layers and a plurality of non-crimp fabric layers. A method of manufacturing the case includes winding the plurality of unidirectional roving fiber layers around the plurality of non-crimp fabric layers.

A composite structure is fabricated using a preform comprising a stack of unidirectional prepreg plies that are stitched together. During curing of the prepreg, the stitches melt and dissolve.

A fiber reinforced composite, a component for a wind turbine and a method for manufacturing a component for a wind turbine are provided. The fiber reinforced composite includes a plurality of first fibers, the first fibers being arranged in a unidirectional or biax-configuration, a plurality of second fibers, the second fibers being arranged perpendicularly with respect to a lengthwise direction of the first fibers, and a resin impregnating the first and second fibers, wherein a E-modulus of the resin equals an E-modulus of the second fibers. Since the E-modulus of the resin and the E-modulus of the second fibers are equal, an early initiation of fatigue cracks is avoided.

Fibers, prepreg materials, compositions, composite articles, and methods of producing composite articles are disclosed herein. A fiber may include at least one polymeric fiber and a plurality of carbon nanotubes. The at least one polymeric fiber extends in a lengthwise direction. The at least one polymeric fiber is a nanofiber.

A hybrid composite comprising a thermoplastic or thermoset matrix in which brittle and ductile fibers are present, wherein the fibers are configured such that the ductile fibers of the hybrid composite dissipate energy at a impact or overload by plastic deformation of the ductile fibers and show residual properties after impact or overload.

Provided is a method for fabrication of a profile for a spar cap for a wind turbine blade, wherein the profile is fabricated in a pultruding process using one or more strands and/or layers of unidirectional fibres or rovings of unidirectional fibres arranged along a longitudinal direction of the profile and a tool for moulding of the fibres, wherein one or more additional fibres or rovings of additional fibres are introduced in the pultruding process prior to the moulding, wherein the additional fibres are arranged under an angle to the unidirectional fibres, and/or wherein one or more surficial fibres or rovings of surficial fibres are introduced in the pultruding process after the moulding, wherein the surficial fibres are arranged on the outer surface of the moulded profile.
