A method for joining composite rods (200) with tubular shape without expensive, machined connectors and without compromising the structural integrity of the composite rod includes internal and external collars (202, 304) applied to the ends of the composite rod and deformed via unidirectional compressive load applied by a clamp in the radial direction of the composite rod cross-section. The resulting plastic deformation of the metal collars and composite rod interlock those components to support both compressive and tensile loads. The deformed metal collars are easily joinable to other components via off the-shelf hardware.The method for securing joint components to a composite rod comprises:inserting an internal collar (202) into an end of the composite rod (200);placing an external collar (304) over the end of the composite rod;placing a clamp device (306, 308) around the end of the composite rode over theexternal collar; anddeforming the internal collar, the external collar, and the end of the composite rodvia applying unidirectional compressive load in the radial direction to the clamp device.
