摘要： A method of manufacturing and mounting a shim is disclosed, comprising:
non-destructively inspecting a mating surface of the substructure using a scanning device;
comprising an emitter and a detector;
generating with the scanning device a data set representing a shape of the mating surface;
generating a 3D model of the shim, wherein a first surface of the shim is based on the data set;
manufacturing the shim with a computer numerical controlled manufacturing device, the shim having a first surface shaped based on the 3D model and a second surface substantially opposite the first surface based on a predicted shape of a support structure;
applying the shim to the substructure such that the first surface engages the mating surface to form a sub-assembly;
adhering a support structure to the second surface of the shim, and curing the sub-assembly.

摘要： A fastener which includes a first portion of a shaft which defines threads, and a second portion of the shaft, which extends from the first portion of the shaft, includes a planar curved surface. A method for securing a fastener to an e-nut, which includes the step of inserting the fastener positioned within an e-nut into an opening defined by and which extends through at least two components to be secured together, wherein: a first portion of the shaft of the fastener defines threads; and a second portion of the shaft of the fastener, which extends from the first portion of the shaft, defines a curved planar surface.
