Abstract
Systems and methods for making a structure. The methods comprise: obtaining a composite tube structure; and coupling a tube doubler structure at any point along the composite tube structure. The tube doubler structure comprises a first lamina layer formed of a first material and a second lamina material formed of a second material different than the first material. The combination of the first and second materials provides a tube doubler structure with (i) a bulk bearing strength greater than a bearing strength of the composite tube structure and (ii) hoop and axial bulk Coefficient of Thermal Expansions respectively matching hoop and axial Coefficient of Thermal Expansions of the composite tube structure by a given amount.
