Zusammenfassung:A filament wound composite tie rod and method for fabricating the same includes end fittings coupled to a structural member tube and held by a filament-wound structure. The end fittings include lugs to guide and hold the filament at proper angles while holding the filament in place on the end fittings. The filament wound composite tie rod provides both higher tension and/or higher compressive load carrying capability than existing tie rods at a significantly reduced weight.
