<p>Methods for reducing stress on composite structures involving providing a primary composite structure (38) having a circumference, providing at least one mounting flange (46) operably connected to the primary composite structure (38) about the circumference to form a joint, and providing a secondary structure (48) operably connected to the primary composite structure (38) at the mounting flange (46) such that when stresses on the primary composite structure (38) exceed a maximum capacity level delamination or separation of the mounting flange (46 ) from the primary structure (38) occurs at the joint, and the secondary structure (48) remains operably connected to the mounting flange (46).</p> |
