Abstract
A method of fabricating a textile structure of varying thickness, the method including weaving a fiber texture in the form of a strip and winding the fiber texture under tension onto a mandrel, the fiber texture including a greater-thickness portion presenting greater thickness. During winding of the fiber texture on the mandrel, an interleaving element is interposed between adjacent turns of the fiber texture on the mandrel, the interleaving element extending in the width direction of the fiber texture over a portion of the texture that lies outside the greater-thickness portion. The interleaving element presents, over the portion of the texture situated outside the greater-thickness portion, a thickness that corresponds at least to the difference between the thickness of the greater-thickness portion and the thickness of the portion of the texture situated outside the greater-thickness portion.
