    Abstract: A composite structural component 2 comprises an elongate member made of a polymer matrix composite material, the elongate member generally extending along an axis of the composite structural component 2 from an end portion 5 thereof. The composite structural component 2 also comprises an end fitting 8 that forms a mechanical joint with the end portion 5. The elongate member comprises a first member 4 extending from the end portion 5 along the axis of the composite structural component 2 and a second member 3 extending from the end portion 5 along the axis of the composite structural component 2. The end fitting 8 is constrained in the end portion 5 by the first and second members 4,3 such that the first member 4 is preloaded with a compressive stress in the axial direction and the second member 3 is preloaded with a tensile stress in the axial direction.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a structural member (10, 10', 10") for an aircraft (50) or spacecraft, the structural member (10, 10', 10") comprising at least one fibre plastic composite (11), the fibre plastic composite (11) having at least one or a plurality of plies (12). The structural member (10, 10' 10") comprises at least one pre-stressing means (20) providing internal stresses to the fibre plastic composite (11) and that the fibre plastic composite (11) and the pre-stressing means (20) are configured and arranged to form a balanced system the internal stresses of which are essentially balanced to zero in a cured state of the said system. The balanced system of the structural member (10, 10' 10") is able to counteract loading stresses exerted to the airframe (52) in service such, that a damage caused by the loading stress is easily detectable visually.
