Assembly and method for minimizing an overlap of a composite member riveted to another member

An assembly and method for minimizing an overlap of a composite member riveted to another member includes a first member having a first overlap area and a second member having a second overlap area. The overlap areas of the first and second members are in direct contact, thereby forming an overlapped region. The overlapped region may be thicker than the sum of the individual members. The second member includes an end defining a projection in the overlapped region. The rivet is disposed through the first member and at least partially through the second member in the projection, thereby interlocking the second member to the first member. The projections include a curved symmetrical body defining an apex. The rivet extends through the body such that a line extending from the center axis of the rivet is perpendicular to a tangent extending through the apex of the projection. 种用于最小化铆接至另个构件的复合构件的重叠的组件和方法包括具有第重叠区域的第构件和具有第二重叠区域的第二构件。第构件和第二构件的重叠区域直接接触，从而形成重叠区。重叠区可比单个构件的和还要厚。第二构件包括重叠区中的限定突起的端部。铆钉被设置成穿过该第构件并且至少部分穿过突起中的第
