A simplified analysis is given of the stresses caused by load transfer into a U-shaped fibre rein forced strip wound round a pin. It is shown that the peak stresses vary markedly with the ratio of the longitudinal to transverse modulus of the composite. Because of this, a design which is satisfactory with glass fibre may not be so with carbon fibre.
