Provided is a composite material bonding apparatus that can reduce a cycle time when composite material members are bonded to each other. The composite material bonding apparatus includes a sheet-heater moving device that places a graphite heater at an insertion position between a first bonded surface of a first composite material member and a second bonded surface of a second composite material member such that the graphite heater is parallel to the first bonded surface and the second bonded surface facing the first bonded surface, and retracts the graphite heater to a retraction position from the insertion position. The first bonded surface and the second bonded surface are heated at the insertion position by the graphite heater, and then the graphite heater is moved to the retraction position by the sheet-heater moving device.

A composite structure manufacturing method comprising: a lamination step in which a plurality of fiber-reinforced resin sheets are laminated to form a plate-shaped laminate; a pressing deformation step in which a third roller or similar, which rolls along a plate surface of the laminate, is used to press the plate surface of the laminate, thereby forming a recessed section or a protruding section in a prescribed section of the laminate; a short direction deformation step in which, after the pressing deformation step, the laminate is deformed in the short direction to make the long direction cross-section into a prescribed shape; and a long direction deformation step in which, after the pressing deformation step, the laminate is deformed in the long direction to make the short direction cross-section into a prescribed shape.

A fitting method is for fitting a material to be repaired and a repair patch to be adhesively bonded to the material at adhesive surfaces, each adhesive surface having at least two or more of curved portions. The fitting method includes measuring a shape of the material; measuring a shape of the repair patch; dividing repair patch shape measurement data acquired at measuring the shape of repair patch into pieces of divided data each including one or less of the curved portions; performing, at the adhesive surfaces, fitting processing of the pieces of divided data acquired at dividing the repair patch shape measurement data to material-to-be-repaired shape measurement data acquired at measuring the shape of material; and calculating a gap amount between the material-to-be-repaired shape measurement data and repair patch shape fitting data acquired from the fitting processing at the adhesive surfaces.

The preset invention is to mold a laminate at a high accuracy by appropriately generating slippage between fiber sheets of the laminate at bending. A method for molding a laminate includes a step in which a plurality of gripping parts, which are arranged apart from each other, grip an area, wherein slippage between fiber sheets is prevented, in a plate-shaped laminate including a plurality of fiber sheets laminated each other; a step in which the plurality of gripping parts grip the area wherein slippage between the fiber sheets is prevented, while maintaining the state wherein relative moving of the area of the laminate and the gripping parts is prevented; and a step in which the gripping parts move so as to subject the laminate to bending.

The bonding apparatus of the present invention is an apparatus that bonds a patch containing a reinforcing fiber to a bonded section of a corner section CR of an object member. The bonding apparatus has s heater mat, a pushing member, a bag member having a decompression port, a mold releasing film, a breather, a heater mat and a sealant. A pushing member has a first cowl plate, a second cowl plate and an elastic pressuring body. A pressuring section of the pushing member has the surface shape corresponding to a corner section design value after the patch is bonded. By protruding from a gap between a first cowl plate and a second cowl plate to a direction of the corner section CR, the patch is pushed to the bonded section and the generation of a wrinkle in the reinforcing fiber can be prevented.
