摘要： A structural assembly for use with a structural workpiece includes a bushing and a first member, such as a washer. The bushing is placed in an opening of the structural workpiece and the first member is placed on the bushing. A portion of the bushing within the opening of the structural workpiece is radially expanded (e.g., with a tapered mandrel) into the structural workpiece to achieve an interference fit therewith. An extended portion of the bushing is radially expanded to generate a swaged portion. The swaged portion mechanically captures and retains the first member on the bushing and against the structural workpiece. The combination of a radial flange on the bushing and the retained first member, on opposite surfaces of the structural workpiece, respectively, may operate as bearing surfaces for thrust loading in more than one direction.
