    Abstract:

    An innovative fabrication method of integrated manufacturing composite truss is developed to improve the geometric accuracy and rods connecting efficiency. Unlike previous research, the rods are connected by bonding composite shell, winding fiber tow and wrapping fabric together with the designed rod fixture. Fabrication process demonstrates good operability and stability of truss manufacture and advanced geometry accuracy of fabrication. Three-point bending test on bending bearing capacity of the truss suggests a high specific bending stiffness with rods connection of high efficiency. In addition, consistent results from a finite element simulation based on a simplified model show its potential in high computational efficiency to evaluate the bending stiffness of the truss.
