Abstract
A connecting rod comprises a convex elongated body around a longitudinal axis of symmetry and two connecting ends for connecting to adjacent structures. The connecting rod includes two shells with two longitudinal edges that are assembled in these edges and that each have a base of at least one shell web including continuous shell fibers primarily parallel to this axis of symmetry and impregnated with a thermoplastic shell matrix. The connecting rod incorporates at least one assembly web wound around and along the shells, and assembly fibers primarily inclined relative to the axis and impregnated with a thermoplastic assembly matrix remelted in contact with the shell matrix.
