Abstract
Provided is a method of fabricating a force transfer part including at least one lug made of composite material that is to receive a pin for making a pivot connection with another part. The method includes making a fiber preform for a main body of the part and making a preform for a reinforcing ring out of discontinuous long fibers, making the reinforcing ring preform to match the dimensions of at least one bore in the preform of the main body, inserting the reinforcing ring preform in the bore of the preform of the main body, and polymerizing the reinforcing ring and main body preforms in injection tooling. A force transfer part obtained by such a method is also provided.
