  • Patent number: 8657232
    Abstract: An installation of systems in aircraft fuselages such as thermophonic insulation mattresses and devices such as onboard systems, and bundles of electric wires or fluid ducts (air, water, oxygen, hydraulic fluid). A structure for fastening onto an aircraft fuselage includes at least frames and stringers, the structure further including: fuselage stabilizers connecting the frames and stringers, wherein two stabilizers of two consecutive frames face each other between the two consecutive frames; and a strip board connecting the two stabilizers and including a fastening mechanism arranged so as to receive corresponding fastening mechanisms of the insulation mattresses and the devices.

  • Patent number: 8656593
    Abstract: A method for assembling a part of a metal material and a part of a composite material, the junction of the two parts being achieved through a fastener having a substantially constant section and received in a first hole formed in the part of a metal material and a second hole formed in the part of a composite material. According to the disclosed embodiments and before assembling the aforementioned parts, the method includes: an expansion step for generating a field of compression stresses at the periphery of the first hole and locally in the material constituting the part of a metal material using an expansion tool; a single boring step for making the first hole and the second hole with a diameter Øfinal substantially larger than the diameter of the fastener in order to leave a gap between the inner walls of the holes and the outer surface of the fastener; and an assembling step for placing the fastener inside the holes for maintaining together the metal part and the composite part.
