A self-stiffened panel of preimpregnated composite. The panel is of a type
including a base skin on one side of which are added and placed
side-by-side U-shaped stiffeners of which the parts connecting the
branches of the U are flattened against the skin, with an interfacing
structure between the adjoining branches of two adjacent stiffeners The
interfacing structure is a nail having a nail-head comprised of a cord of
filling resin. The nail is formed from a band with a rectangular
cross-section whose edge, on the skin side, is directly in contact with
the adjoining surface of the skin. The nail-head is comprised of two
half-nail-heads placed symmetrically in the angle formed between the skin
and the nail.
