A composite component system includes a base component with a first component fiber ply and a second component fiber ply and a repair insert with a first repair fiber ply and a second repair fiber ply. The base component is connected to the repair insert by an adhesive joint. The first component fiber ply has an interface surface connected to the interface surface of the first repair fiber ply by the adhesive joint. The second component fiber ply has an interface surface connected to the interface surface of the second repair fiber ply by the adhesive joint. The first component fiber ply has a fiber orientation corresponding substantially to a fiber orientation of the first repair fiber ply. The interface surface of the first repair fiber ply completely overlaps the interface surface of the first component fiber ply.

Composite component system, use of a composite component system and method for repairing a composite component system

A method for determining a distance between components has the steps of providing a first conductive section in or on the first component in a region directed toward the second component, providing a second conductive section in or on the second component in a region directed toward the first conductive section, feeding a first voltage pulse into a first connection of the first conductive section, capturing a reflection voltage pulse in response to the first voltage pulse at the first connection, determining an impedance profile along the first conductive section by evaluating the reflection voltage pulse, and determining a distance between the components along the first conductive section by calculating a corresponding local distance, associated with the determined impedance profile, between the first conductive section and the second conductive section.

A method for categorizing a fracture surface of a component. A digital image of the fracture surface is generated. The digital image or one or more segments of the digital image is/are analyzed, wherein a category of a fracture pattern is assigned to one or more regions of the digital image or of one or more segments based on detection and statistical evaluation of spatial distribution of the smallest homogeneous image units (pixels) or image elements, and, provided that multiple regions and/or multiple segments of the digital image were analyzed, information about the regions and/or details of the digital image and categories of fracture patterns determined and assigned to them are linked to each other, and a category is assigned to the fracture surface based on this link. The method permits automatic, self-learning-categorization of fracture surfaces, for example for series tests carried out for joining technologies.

The disclosure relates to a component device, in particular for a primary supporting component of an aircraft, which comprises a first component element, a second component element, a bonding providing a connection between the first component element and the second component element, a marker substance device configured to dispense a volatile marker gas to the environment when in contact with the surrounding air and being hermetically sealed from the surrounding air by the first component element, the second component element, and/or the bonding if the bonding is not damaged, and a detector device configured to detect the marker gas dispensed by the marker substance device.

Component device and method for detecting damage in a bonding adhesive of the component device

The disclosure relates to a component device, in particular for a primary supporting component of an aircraft, the component device having a first component element, a second component element, a bonding providing a connection between the first component element and the second component element, and a detector device having at least one interior space sensor device configured to measure a change in a pressure and/or a concentration of a gas surrounding the interior space sensor device. The first component element, the second component element, and the bonding confine an interior space. The interior space sensor device is arranged in the interior space.
