Abstract
A process for making a dismountable and/or fixed traction-compression coupling to be applied to composite materials, in which a basic laminate ( ) of composite material is folded at least once to obtain at least one skirt ( ) forming an angle close to 90° with the rest of the laminate; by using a transition radius between the skirt and the rest of the laminate, a set of distribution plates ( ) is applied over the basic laminate to stabilize the skirt and produce a uniform load distribution, making holes in each set of distribution skirt-plates and introducing traction bolts ( ) with an initial pretension in said holes, hence obtaining the connection between the components to be joined. The invention is applicable to the aerodynamic structures of aircraft.
