Arrangement for the introduction of heavy components having a sandwich structure in scale

摘要

A reinforcement assembly is provided for mounting and transmitting forces to an internally braced structural element having means defining thereon areal outer surfaces. The structural element is of the type particularly suitable for use in vehicles such as aircraft and spacecraft and includes a fulcrum region at which the element is mounted and through which forces are transmitted thereto. The reinforcement assembly comprises plate means located to extend generally parallel to the areal surfaces from the fulcrum region, with a plurality of plates being located on opposite sides of the plate means in overlapping relationship arranged to provide for the structure fiber reinforcement which increases in the direction of the fulcrum region. Web means located to extend between the opposed plate means in directions generally parallel thereto are assembled to extend radially outwardly from the fulcrum region. The ends of the web means located adjacent the fulcrum region are made to converge at an assembly point where the webs are joined by an interconnecting device including a bush.
