Abstract
A method of manufacturing a cured composite structure includes placing a radius filler element into a radius cavity extending along a length of a composite base member. The radius filler element is formed of a permeable material. The method also includes absorbing resin from the composite base member into the permeable material of the radius filler element. The method additionally includes curing or solidifying the resin in the radius filler element and in the composite base member to form a cured composite structure in which the resin bonds the radius filler element to the composite base member.
