Abstract

Fibre-reinforced composite components based around pultruded rods are under
investigation with the intention to deliver structural members with improved compressive
performance compared to standard fibre-reinforced composites, through a novel hierarchical
approach inspired by natural composites. These components present new challenges in
manufacturing, as the cured rods become constituents in the larger composite parts. This work
highlights advances in manufacturing two representative components, cylindrical struts and
flat thick plies, each built around the rods. Key considerations are optimising rod alignment,
manufacturing of suitably sized components for representative mechanical testing and
minimising defects. Manufacturing methods for both of these components are presented and
discussed.
