Abstract:
An assembly includes a composite body and a load body connected to the composite body by a fastener. The composite body is elongate along a body axis and has a first fastener opening extending radially therethrough. The load body has a second fastener opening extending therethrough. The fastener extends along an insertion axis through the first fastener opening and the second fastener opening to connect the composite body and the first load body together. The fastener has a non-circular cross-section orthogonal to the insertion axis.
