Abstract: Sealing method, used inside a hollow structure (1) with a bonding material (11) of the mastic type, comprising the following steps: (a) a moveable source (6) of infrared radiation (IR) is used; (b) at least one said bonding material M, chosen according to its thermosetting characteristics is used; (c) the structural parts (3) and (4) of their structure (1) are connected with a bead (8) of the bonding material along the leak line (5) portion; (d) the IR source (6) is placed inside the hollow structure (1) in a position to illuminate the bead (8) of bonding material; (e) the IR radiation (9) is emitted in the illumination position of the said IR source; and (f) a working temperature (T1) at the said bead is detected, characterized in that, on the one hand, the working temperature (T1) approximately at the center of the IR illumination beam (9) is detected (according to f) and, on the other hand, an effective temperature (T2) in a control region at the said bead (8) is detected in order to control the emissi

Abstract: A process for reconstituting or reconstructing a composite object having a defect which affects at least its surface includes: (a) placing at least one added piece or material, the shape and dimensions of which are matched to those of the defect, in or on the defect, the piece or material including mechanically strong, continuous or staple fibers; (b) placing a polymer material in or on the defect to obtain a plastic matrix in which the fibers are distributed; (c) placing a gas-drain for draining the gases given off by the plastic matrix and a cover for extracting the gases, in succession and one on top of the other, on the added piece, which together with the rest of the object form an enclosure which is sealed with respect to the external atmosphere and circumscribes the defect and the added piece; and (d) while evacuating the sealed enclosure, heating the added piece using a radiant source, the emission from which includes infrared radiation, and placing the source with respect to the defect so as to irrad
