Abstract

An electrically conductive structure includes a plurality of carbon fiber layers and at least one electrically conductive filament three-dimensionally woven among the carbon fiber layers. The plurality of carbon fiber layers and the at least one electrically conductive filament are operable to conduct electrical current throughout the structure.

Description

technical field [0001] In general, the present disclosure relates to structures that dissipate electrical current. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to conductive composite structures throughout which an electrically dissipative material is three-dimensionally woven to dissipate electrical current along the X, Y, and Z axes of the structure. Background technique [0002] In a variety of applications, composite structures are designed to withstand the currents and voltages of lightning strikes. This capability can be achieved by spraying or applying a metal mesh or screen to the exterior surface of the composite structure over the conductive coating. While these methods and techniques may be suitable for dissipating current along the X and Y axes (along the surface) of a composite structure, they may be ineffective in dissipating current in the Z direction (through the thickness) of the structure. Thus, electrical current from a lightning strike or short cir...
