Abstract
There is disclosed a method of fabricating a composite structure (). The method comprises the steps of: providing a pair of preforms (), each comprising a plurality of reinforcing fibers (); providing an intermediate layer () of resiliently deformable material between said preforms () to space said preforms apart from one another such that each preform () bears against a respective side () of the intermediate layer (); providing a curable matrix material around said fibers (); and curing said matrix material to form said plastic composite structure (). Also disclosed is a composite structure () having at least two layers of fiber-reinforced plastic () which are bonded to respective sides () of an intermediate layer () of resiliently deformable material, the intermediate layer () being arranged to space the two layers of fiber-reinforced plastic () from one another.
