Abstract
A hyperstatic truss including connecting rods, used for suspension of a first ring, forming part of an engine case, inside a second ring concentric to the first ring, the connecting rods being secured at one end to the first ring and at the other end to the second ring. The tensile stiffness of the connecting rods is greater than the compressive stiffness thereof. The truss for example can be used for suspension of a ducted-fan turbine engine with an elongate bypass duct.
