A mechanical pressure application system (100) for applying a tailored pressure distribution to a plurality of structural components (20) is provided. Each structural component has a first surface (30), and each first surface (30) is configured to interface with the first surface (30) of another of the structural components (20) at a contact area (50). A base (102) and at least one tooling block (104) are configured to removably couple to the structural components (20). Each at least one tooling block (104) includes a first surface configured to be positioned proximate at least one of the plurality of structural components (20). A second surface (32) of each tooling block is configured to receive at least one forcing member (150). At least one biasing mechanism (160) is configured to apply a predetermined load to the at least one forcing member (150), such that a force is transmitted from the at least one forcing member (150) through the tooling block to a corresponding portion of the contact area (50).
