A metallic/composite joint includes a composite member and an insert located at least partially within the composite member. The composite member comprises a cylinder having an angled end extending along a centerline axis, an inner surface of the angled end oriented at a first angle relative to the centerline axis. The insert is located at least partially within the angled end and having an outer surface oriented at a second angle relative to the centerline axis. The first and second angles are oriented to reduce maximum shear stress in the composite member when the insert and composite member are in an installed position.
