Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif (1) de dissipation mécanique comprenant : un premier corps (2) et un second corps (3) s'étendant principalement le long d'un axe longitudinal (1a), le premier corps (2) comprenant une première extrémité (4) de fixation à une première structure externe, le second corps (3) comprenant une seconde extrémité (5) de fixation à une seconde structure externe, une pluralité d'éléments d'interférence (6) possédant une forme au moins partiellement sphérique et mettant en œuvre sensiblement la seule contrainte mécanique entre le premier corps (2) et le second corps (3), le second corps (3) étant partiellement logé dans le premier corps (2) au moyen d'un couplage télescopique, le premier corps (2) comprenant au moins un bloc de logement (20) relié à une pluralité d'éléments de liaison (21), le second corps (3) comprenant un arbre (30), chaque bloc (20) comprenant des logements (20a), chaque logement (20a) comprenant des ouvertures (20b, 20c), chaque élément d'interférence (6) étant logé dans le bloc (20) dans un logement (20a) et faisant partiellement saillie à partir du logement (20a) à travers les ouvertures (20b, 20c), les éléments d'interférence (6) étant bloqués par le bloc (20), par l'arbre (30) et mettant en œuvre une interférence avec l'arbre (30), le premier corps (2) comprenant en outre une partie externe (22) entourant le bloc (20), configurée pour exercer une pression sur les éléments d'interférence (6) de façon à mettre en œuvre une interférence supplémentaire entre lesdits éléments d'interférence (6) et ladite partie externe (22).
