Abstract
A fixture for stiffening a thin-walled component comprises linking elements which support respective biasing parts and pressure parts. The biasing parts are arranged to urge the pressure parts to press on a thin-walled component, and the linking elements are rigidly connected to one another to resist a reaction force exerted on the pressure parts by the thin-walled component.

A fixture for stiffening a thin-walled component, the fixture comprising:
- linking elements which support respective biasing parts and pressure parts, the biasing parts being arranged to urge the pressure parts to press on a thin-walled component, and the linking elements being connected to one another to resist a reaction force exerted on the pressure parts by the thin-walled component.
A combination of a fixture and a thin-walled component, the fixture being secured to the thin-walled component, the fixture comprising:
- linking elements which support respective biasing parts and pressure parts, the biasing parts urging the pressure parts to press on the thin-walled component in order to stiffen the thin-walled component, and the linking elements being rigidly connected to one another to resist a reaction force exerted on the pressure parts by the thin-walled component.
