Abstract

Retaining structure for a turbo-machine forming an annulus having a complex ircumferential construction comprising a cylindrical sector of a high mechanical strength material protecting a member secured on the casing of the machine. The complementary sector of the annulus is a honeycomb structure mounted between an internal and an external skin. The cylindrical sector is formed by a thickening of the internal skin. A strap of a material with a high elastic modulus serves to secure at least the complementary sector.
