Abstract

See full text

A composite external casing for a compressor of an axial-flow turbomachine, the casing comprising a generally circular wall having a matrix and a woven fibrous reinforcement. The latter is formed by a stack of fibrous plies having fibers woven according to a weft positioned in the axis of the circular wall, and a warp positioned around the circumference of the wall. The stack of plies comprising, depending on thickness, two external layers and one central layer. The layers include differences in the proportions between the weft fibers and the warp fibers. In the external layers the warp fibers make up the majority. In the central layer the weft fibers make up the majority. The stack exhibits interlayers inserted between the central layer and each external layer. The plies corresponding to the interlayers exhibit fibers woven at +45° and −45° in relation to the axis of rotation of the turbomachine.
