Abstract
The molding method of the present invention configures: a mandrelbeing a mold for molding the material of a fiber-reinforced plasticand having multiple piecestoadjacent to one another in a longitudinal direction D; and an angle materialformed of a material having a linear expansion coefficient approximate to the linear expansion coefficient of the fiber-reinforced plastic, and aligning the piecestoalong the longitudinal direction D. The method includes: a mandrel disposing step Sof disposing the piecestowith gaps Gto Gbetween one another; an angle material disposing step Sof disposing the angle materialon the piecesto; and a heating to cure and molding step Sof molding the fiber-reinforced plastic by heating the material of the fiber-reinforced plastic while aligning the piecestoby the angle material
