Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing structural elements ( 14 ) that comprise a hollow profile ( 1 ) made of continuous fibre-reinforced plastics material that comprises a thermosetting matrix material that has a softening temperature that is below the cross-linking temperature, and at least one load-application element ( 15 ), and to a structural element ( 14 ) produced by the method and comprising a hollow profile ( 1 ) made of continuous fibre-reinforced plastics material that comprises a thermosetting matrix material that has a softening temperature that is below the cross-linking temperature, and at least one load-application element ( 15 ), the hollow profile ( 1 ) and the load-application element ( 15 ) being interconnected in a form-fitting manner. The method according to the invention comprises at least the following method steps: a. providing a cut-to-size hollow profile ( 1 ) made of plastics material ( 3 ) that is reinforced by continuous fibres, on a liner ( 2 ), wherein the liner ( 2 ) forms the inner lateral surface of the hollow profile ( 1 ), and wherein the hollow profile ( 1 ) is impregnated by means of heating to a temperature that is equal to or above the softening temperature of the matrix material ( 9 ) and below the cross-linking temperature of the matrix material ( 9 ); b. removing the liner ( 2 ) in the inner region ( 17 ) of the hollow profile ( 1 ) that is intended for load application; c. arranging a load-application element ( 15 ) on the inner region ( 17 ) of the hollow profile ( 1 ) that is intended for load application; d. consolidating and functionalising the structural element ( 14 ) consisting of the hollow profile ( 1 ) and the load-application element ( 15 ) by means of heating the structural element ( 14 ) to a temperature that is equal to or above the cross-linking temperature of the matrix material ( 9 ) and applying a radially inwardly acting pressure to the structural element ( 14 ), wherein the hollow profile ( 1 ) is moulded onto the load-application element ( 15 ) in a form-fitting manner.
