Abstract
Disclosed is a fastener assembly comprising at least one of a bolt member and a nut member; and a drive element adapted for engagement by an installation/driving tool, said drive element comprising a body. The body of the drive element is joined either to the bolt member or to the nut member by means of an interposed interlayer structure, the interlayer structure being adapted to fracture in torsional shear and/or tensile stress in response to a relative rotational and/or tensile force applied to the drive element with the installation/driving tool.
