主权项

1. A system for securing a first attachment location to a second attachment location, comprising:
a first member having a first coefficient of thermal expansion, a first attachment feature, and a first interface feature, wherein the first attachment feature is configured for attaching the first member to the first attachment location; a second member having a second coefficient of thermal expansion that is higher than the first coefficient of thermal expansion; and having a second interface feature and a third interface feature, wherein the first interface feature and the second interface feature are configured for engagement with each other, and are configured to transmit an axial load between the first member and the second member; and a third member having a third coefficient of thermal expansion that is lower than the second coefficient of thermal expansion; and having a second attachment feature and a fourth interface feature, wherein the second attachment feature is configured to attach the third member to the second attachment location; and wherein the fourth interface feature and the third interface feature are configured for engagement with each other, and are configured to transmit an axial load between the second member and the third member.
