According to an aspect of the present invention, a method of anchoring a connector in a first object is provided, the connector comprising a thermoplastic material in a solid state, the method comprising - providing the first object and the connector - bringing the connector into contact with the first object from a distal side thereof, - causing mechanical vibration energy to impinge on the first object from a proximal end face thereof, the proximal end face being opposite the distal side, while the object and the connector are pressed against each other, until a proximally facing end of connector is at least partially flowable forming a flow portion of the thermoplastic material, and causing the flow portion to flow into structures of the first object, and - letting the flow portion re-solidify to cause a positive-fit connection between the first object and the connector. |
