A fastening device (10) for securing panels together. Threads (16) are formed along an outer circumference of a shank (12) of the fastening device. The shank is coaxially connected to a head (18) configured to be engaged by and to transfer torque loads from a tool to the shank. The shank comprises concentric cylindrical braid layers (20,22,24) that each includes braided reinforcing fibers infiltrated with a resin matrix and adhesive layers (30,31,36) may be disposed between them. |
