    摘要: A structural fuse 1 is configured to shear upon an application of a predetermined load and comprises a plurality of elongate reinforcing elements 4 in a metal matrix 5. The provision of a so-called metal matrix composite results in a fuse that is lighter in weight than a conventional metal pin and has improved fatigue properties and hence a longer operating life. The load (or range of loads) at which the fuse is arranged to shear can be engineered by careful arrangement of the orientation of the reinforcing elements, and by selecting the proportion of reinforcing elements in the matrix. Thus, a fuse having a narrower load range than hitherto achievable can be produced.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a fastener (100). The fastener (100) includes an elongated body (102) having a first end (104) and a second end (106) opposite the first end (104). The fastener (100) also includes a head (108) having a first surface (110) and a second surface (112) opposite the first surface (110). The first end (104) of the elongated body (102) is coupled to the second surface (112) of the head (108), and a diameter (114) of the head (108) is greater than a diameter (116) of the elongated body (102). The fastener (100) also includes a sleeve (130) positioned over at least a portion of the elongated body (102) and the second surface (112) of the head (108). The fastener (100) also includes a plurality of textured elements (118) positioned on an exterior surface (119) of the sleeve (130) adjacent the second surface (112) of the head (108). One or more of the plurality of textured elements (118) extend from the exterior surface (119) of the sleeve (130) to the first surface (110) of the head (108). (Fig. 2C)
