The channel joint may include a receiving channel () in the end fitting () that is complementary in shape to the tube, tubular member, or other hollow member () that is to be fitted and bonded with the end fitting. The use of a channel joint allows for simplified assembly because the receiving channel acts as a reservoir for the bonding agent or adhesive (). Upon insertion of the tube, tubular member, or other hollow member into the adhesive-loaded receiving channel, the adhesive will backflow to fill the voids in the joint and expel the excess adhesive. The resulting joint is less likely to have voids, has additional bonding area compared to lap joints, and prevents the adhesive or bonding agent from experiencing tensile loads. 1.

The processes include subjecting a honeycomb core preform having a honeycomb core and a stabilizing layer of at least one ply of a resin-impregnated fiber reinforced matrix material (“prepreg material”) surrounding the honeycomb core to high temperature curing under an ambient atmospheric pressure condition. A final laminate layer formed of at least one ply of prepreg material may thereafter be laid up onto the stabilized preform to thereby provide a final product preform which is then subjected to high temperature and high pressure autoclave curing conditions sufficient to cure the final laminate layer and provide a final cured honeycomb core composite laminate structure. 1. A process for fabricating a honeycomb core composite laminate structure comprising:(a) providing a honeycomb core preform comprised of a honeycomb core and a stabilizing layer comprised of at least one ply of a resin-impregnated fiber reinforced matrix material surrounding the honeycomb core;(b) subjecting the honeycomb core preform to high temperature curing under an ambient atmospheric pressure condition sufficient to cure the stabilizing layer to thereby obtain a stabilized honeycomb core preform;(c) laying up a final laminate layer comprised of at least one ply of an additional resin-impregnated fiber-reinforced matrix material onto the stabilized honeycomb core preform to thereby provide a final product preform; and(d) subjecting the final product preform to high temperature and high pressure autoclave curing conditions sufficient to cure the final laminate layer and provide a final cured honeycomb core composite laminate structure.2. A process as in claim 1 , wherein the high temperature employed in steps (b) and (d) is about 180° C.3. A process as in claim 1 , wherein the high pressure employed in step (d) is between about 50 psi to about 100 psi.4. A process as in claim 1 , wherein the ambient ...
