Abstract

The invention relates to a device (DC) which is fitted in a power unit which includes a heat engine (MT) which provides a crankshaft (AM) with a first average torque combined with an acyclic torque, a gearbox (BV) which is coupled to a main shaft (AP) and bears a limit input torque which is dependent on an engaged gear and the acyclic torque and corresponds to a shot noise of the gearbox having an intensity which is below a predefined threshold, and a prime mover (MM) which provides the main shaft (AP) with a second torque. This device (DC) determines a maximum acyclic torque which corresponds to a limit input torque which is borne when a gear is engaged, then derives, from this maximum acyclic torque, a first related maximum average torque, and, if a required torque is greater than this first maximum average torque, causes the heat motor (MT) to provide a first average torque of at most equal to the first maximum average torque and causes the prime mover (MM) to provide a second torque which is equal to the difference between the required torque and this first average torque.

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a composite component (10) is disclosed, said method comprising the following steps: - stacking, in a first heated mould, a first mat, a spacer and a second mat, the mats being impregnated with thermosetting resin; and:• - compressing and heating the stack in order to polymerize the thermosetting resin. Said method comprises, prior to the stacking step, a step of compressing the spacer (114) in a non-heated second mould (30), an internal surface (34) of said second mould comprising an imprint (36) so as to shape the spacer to said imprint. An internal surface of the first mould comprises an imprint corresponding to the imprint (36) of the second mould. Thus, during the step of compression and of heating by the first mould, a gap between the spacer and said first mould is substantially constant. There is therefore no risk of the spacer being compressed randomly during the compression and heating step.
