Said joint comprises a plurality of juxtaposed, elementary, tubular cells (12), oriented in the panel thickness direction, as well as at least one stress introduction cell (12a), in which is fitted a rigid part (14) for fixing the external member. The tubular cells (12) comprise composite walls formed from braided fiber roves and resin.
