    摘要: The assembly (24) comprises: a woven first fabric (26) comprising filamentary warp elements (64) comprising first and second filamentary members, a woven second fabric (28), a bearing structure (30) comprising filamentary bearing elements (32) connecting the woven first and second fabrics together. For a length at rest L of the woven first fabric (26): for any elongation of the woven first fabric (26) less than or equal to (2π×H)/L, the first filamentary member has a non-zero elongation and is not broken; there is an elongation of the woven first fabric (26), less than or equal to (2π×H)/L, and beyond which the second filamentary member is broken, in which H0×K≤H where H0 is the distance between the woven first and second fabrics (26, 28) when each filamentary bearing portion (74) is at rest, and K=0.50.

    摘要: The method for producing a wire element by interlacing at least a first strand and a second strand, during which strand tension control is effected by includes defining an assembly tension set point representative of a state of longitudinal tension to be obtained in the first strand when said first strand reaches the assembly point. The method also includes measuring the actual assembly tension applied in the first strand, said measurement being taken at a first tension measurement point located along the first strand and upstream of the assembly point. The method proceeds with operating a tension regulating member such as a capstan, which acts on the first strand upstream of the assembly point such as to cause the actual assembly tension within said first strand to converge automatically towards the assembly tension set point.

    摘要: The assembly (24) comprises: a first structure (10) extending in a first overall direction (G1), a second structure (12), and a bearing structure (30) comprising filamentary bearing elements (32) comprising at least one filamentary bearing portion (74) extending between the first structure (10) and the second structure (12), the first structure (10) being arranged such that, for a length at rest L of the first structure (10) in the first overall direction (G1), the elongation at maximum force Art of the first structure in the first overall direction (G1) satisfies: Art≤(2π×H)/L, in which H0×K≤H where H0 is the mean straight-line distance between an internal face (42) of the first structure (10) and an internal face (46) of the second structure (12) when each filamentary bearing portion (74) is at rest, and K=0.50.
