ABSTRACT:
Two composite structures are fastened together using an electrically conductive, threaded fastener. The composite structures have insulating surface regions and inner regions which contain conductive fibers. The threaded fastener is provided with large contact areas through the inner regions to facilitate discharge of high curent densities from the composite materials while minimizing localized heating. This significantly increases the life of the composite material.
