The assembly () comprises: a woven first fabric () comprising filamentary warp elements () comprising first and second filamentary members, a woven second fabric (), a bearing structure () comprising filamentary bearing elements () connecting the woven first and second fabrics together. For a length at rest L of the woven first fabric (): for any elongation of the woven first fabric () less than or equal to (2&#x3c0;&#xd7;H)/L, the first filamentary member has a non-zero elongation and is not broken; there is an elongation of the woven first fabric (), less than or equal to (2&#x3c0;&#xd7;H)/L, and beyond which the second filamentary member is broken, in which H0&#xd7;K&#x2264;H where H0 is the distance between the woven first and second fabrics () when each filamentary bearing portion () is at rest, and K=

Assembly comprising a partially breakable fabric and a supporting structure

The assembly () comprises: a first structure () extending in a first overall direction (G), a second structure (), and a bearing structure () comprising filamentary bearing elements () comprising at least one filamentary bearing portion () extending between the first structure () and the second structure (), the first structure () being arranged such that, for a length at rest L of the first structure () in the first overall direction (G), the elongation at maximum force Art of the first structure in the first overall direction (G) satisfies: Art&#x2264;(2&#x3c0;&#xd7;H)/L, in which H&#xd7;K&#x2264;H where His the mean straight-line distance between an internal face () of the first structure () and an internal face () of the second structure () when each filamentary bearing portion () is at rest, and K=0.50.
