  • Method of producing suspension for a structure in a turbojet engine using a hyperstatic trellis with pre-stressed link elements
    Patent number: 10132241
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an assembly including a first structure which is arranged to be rigidly connected to a housing of a turbojet engine; a second annular structure surrounding the first structure; and a hyperstatic trellis of connecting rods which maintains the first structure relative to the second structure, is provided. The method includes mounting the connecting rods of the hyperstatic trellis between the structures; and pre-stressing at least one of the connecting rods to a pre-determined level, which is carried out before the mounting thereof between the structures.

  • METHOD OF PRODUCING SUSPENSION FOR A STRUCTURE IN A TURBOJET ENGINE USING A HYPERSTATIC TRELLIS WITH PRE-STRESSED LINK ELEMENTS
    Publication number: 20150007580
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing an assembly comprising a first structure (23), arranged to be rigidly connected to a housing of a turbojet engine, a second annular structure (21) surrounding the first structure, and a hyperstatic trellis of connecting rods (40a, 40b, 40c, 40d, 40e, 40f) maintaining the first structure (23) relative to the second (21), said method comprising a step of mounting said connecting rods of the hyperstatic trellis between said structures and being characterised in that it comprises a step for pre-stressing at least one of said connecting rods (40) to a pre-determined level, carried out before the mounting thereof between said structures. It also relates to a device which is suitable for mounting the pre-stressed connecting rods.
