DESIGNS AND METHODS OF MAKING OF JOINTS FOR COMPOSITE COMPONENTS UNDER DOMINANT BENDING LOAD

摘要

A composite tube joint may comprise an end of a composite tube, an inner member disposed within the end, wherein an outer surface of the inner member has a complementary shape to an inner surface of the end, an outer member concentrically surrounding the end of the composite tube, and an undulated surface configured to mitigate movement of the end of the composite tube relative to at least one of the inner member and the outer member.
