  • forming a first structure, the first structure including a fiber-reinforced material having an interface defined by a relatively sharp discontinuity between a resin-infused portion and a non-resin-infused portion;

    forming a second structure, the second structure including a fiber-reinforced material having an interface defined by a relatively sharp discontinuity between a resin-infused portion and a non-resin-infused portion;

    coupling the non-resin-infused portions of the first and second structures to create a coupled non-resin-infused portion;

    infusing the coupled non-resin-infused portion with a resin; and

    curing the resin to couple the first and second structures.
