Abstract
A composite member is formed having improved strength and load carrying abilities by drawing a web of backing material toward a pair of primary rollers. A layer of transverse unidirectional filaments is laid down onto the backing web and a web of unidirectional filaments is drawn through the primary rollers simultaneously with the transverse layer and web of backing material. A resin is applied to the web of materials exiting the primary rollers and a second transverse layer of unidirectional filaments is laid onto the top of these materials to form a composite web. The composite web of materials is drawn to an oven where it is shaped and cured to produce the finished composite member. The finished member has a center ply of unidirectional filaments which is encapsulated by upper and lower transverse layers of unidirectional filaments. The transverse layers retain the shape of the unidirectional filaments, adding to the strength of the finished member.
