Abstract
The device, for reinforcing the area of a part that serves to transmit force, includes two elements for clamping the part. The part can be made of a composite material with reinforcement fibers embedded in a resin. The force transmitted is in the drape-forming plane of the reinforcement fibers of the part. The two elements are at a portion of the part, and at least one linking body connects the two elements with pre-stress so as to generate compression at the portion. At least one linking body is secured to another part with a view to transmitting force.

Device for reinforcing an area for transmission of a force of a part comprised of composite material, said composite material being comprised of reinforcing fibers embedded in a resin, said force being located in a drape-forming plane of said reinforcing fibers, said device comprising:
- two elements clamping said part at a level of said area;
- and
- at least one linking body connecting the two elements with a pre-stress, said area having a compression, wherein at least one linking body is made integral with another part for transmission of another force.
