Abstract

An arrangement for reinforcing a fiber composite component for the aviation and aerospace industry, in which a reinforcing element having a receiving region and a pressure element adapted to the receiving region geometry are provided. The pressure element is inserted into the reinforcing element receiving region. The reinforcing element and the inserted pressure element are fastened relative to one another in a reproducible manner by a reversible fastening device. The fastening device includes a first fastening portion mounted on the pressure element and a second fastening portion which can be mounted on the reinforcing element. The reinforcing element, together with the pressure element fastened thereto, is then applied in a reproducible manner to the fiber composite component cured to connect the reinforcing element to the fiber composite component. The reversible fastening device and the pressure element are then removed from the reinforced fiber composite component.
