Abstract
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a composite part intended for being subjected, via at least one attachment point, to pulling and/or compression forces. The method includes: winding fibers on a hub so as to form a portion of the wall of the part, and creating an externally convex rounded area at the location intended to form the area for applying the pulling and/or compression forces. The forces are radial thereto. The method also includes placing an insert on the convex rounded area, the insert including the attachment point or a mechanism for rigidly connecting the attachment point, and continuing to wind fibers so as to form the rest of the wall, while covering a portion of the insert and leaving the attachment point or the mechanism for rigidly connecting the attachment point accessible.
