The last 15 years have seen substantial growth in the use of advanced composites in the aerospace industry. As this growth continues, so do the problems associated with mechanical fastening of these materials. One of the more difficult challenges has concerned the development of blind fasteners for advanced composites. The problems associated with blind fastening of composite materials, and the progress made to overcome these problems, are discussed.
