摘要:
A system includes a composite structure and a bushing. The composite structure includes an opening defined therethrough. The bushing includes a cylindrical body sized to be secured within the opening in an interference fit to facilitate providing electromagnetic effects protection in the composite structure. The cylindrical body is fabricated from a conductive material.
摘要:
A fastener system for composite structure provides electromagnetic energy protection by incorporating a self-aligning head (SAH) fastener having a head with a spherical engaging surface and a shank extending from the head for insertion through a hole in a composite structure and a self-aligning self sealing (SASS) washer having a throat receiving the shank and a spherical mating surface interfacing with the spherical engaging surface of the head.
摘要:
Fasteners are inserted into a stack of members and terminated with parts having at least one of a dry dielectric coating and a dry dielectric seal at select locations to protect against electromagnetic effects (EME).

摘要:
A bushing assembly (100) includes a washer (110) that includes an opening (130) defined therethrough. A cylindrical body (120) includes a first end (230) that is sized to be inserted within the washer opening and an opposite second end (240). The cylindrical body (120) is fabricated from a smart material that is configured to selectively expand when at least a portion of the body is positioned within the washer opening (130).
