Abstract
A method of fabricating a strut having a hollow central bore includes the steps of providing a mandrel and a quantity of a filament or fiber material, laying the filament or fiber material about the mandrel to form a strut having a central cylindrical section, two opposing connective end sections, a central bore extending through the strut, the central bore having two reduced diameter portions extending through each end section, and an axis extending centrally through the bore, forming a slot or slots extending inwardly from one of the connective section outer ends and terminating within the connective section or the central section, bending at least a portion of the one connective section along the slot to enlarge the bore reduced diameter section at the one end, and displacing the mandrel along the central axis and through the enlarged bore end section until the mandrel is removed from the bore.
