A structural assembly for use with a structural workpiece (102) includes a bushing (104) and a first member (106), such as a washer. The bushing (104) is placed in an opening of the structural workpiece (102) and the first member is placed on the bushing. A portion (122) of the bushing (106) within the opening of the structural workpiece (102) is radially expanded (e.g., with a tapered mandrel (140)) into the structural workpiece (102) to achieve an interference fit therewith. An extended portion of the bushing (104) is radially expanded to generate a swaged portion. The swaged portion mechanically captures and retains the first member on the bushing (104) and against the structural workpiece (102). The combination of a radial flange on the bushing (104) and the retained first member (106), on opposite surfaces of the structural workpiece (102), respectively, may operate as bearing surfaces for thrust loading in more than one direction. |
