Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a process for manufacturing a connecting rod (19) made of a composite having one end in the form of a clevis (21). According to the invention, a layer (16a-16e) of reinforcing fibres (14) braided around a mandrel (5) is applied by a braiding machine (12) over the entire length of the mandrel (5); a layer (17a-17d) of reinforcing fibres is then applied by a winding machine around the end (7) (5) corresponding to the clevis (21); other layers of braided fibres (16a-16e) and wound fibres (17a-17d) are applied alternately until constituting a fibre (14) thickness sufficient for the clevis (21) to be formed. Resin is then injected into the various layers (16a-16e, 17a-17d) of braided and wound fibres, the resin then being cured, and the end comprising the wound layers (17a-17d) is machined in order to form thereat the clevis (21).
