ABSTRACT:
A fastener installation for securing a composite member to a structure. The fastener installation includes a shear member adhesively bonded to a surface of the composite member, and a pin member extending through the shear member and composite member to engage a fastener bore of a structure member and a securing member. The pin member engages a bearing surface of the shear member in bearing contact, and extends through an opening in the composite member spaced from the composite member. Shear forces are transferred between the composite member and the pin member through the adhesive bond, the shear member, and the bearing surface, rather than by bearing contact between the pin member and the composite member. An end of the pin member engages the securing member and acts in cooperation with a head of the pin member to apply compressive force to the composite member, thereby securing the composite member to the structure.
