Linking device more specifically suited to providing the link between an air intake and an engine of an aircraft nacelle

The device has connection elements (46) e.g. bolts or rivets, housed in passage holes (38, 44) formed in cylindrical parts to be connected, respectively. Each element comprises a rod (48) having ends provided with supports (50, 52) for holding the parts in a plated manner. Each hole includes a reduced section adjusted to a section of the rod near the corresponding support, and another section with a large clearance at a junction plane (42), such that the rod is subjected to weak shearing forces at the junction plane during relative deformation of the connected parts.
