Abstract
A component includes a first member, a second member and a device for fastening the first member to the second member. A first hole extends through a portion of the first member and a second hole extends through a portion of the second member. The first member and the second member are positioned such that the first hole and the second hole coincide. The fastening device includes an elongated fastening element arranged in the coinciding holes and a bushing arrangement arranged around the fastening element and adapted to establish a load transmission path between the first member and the second member. A first part of the bushing arrangement is arranged such that an inner surface thereof is positioned at a distance from an exterior surface of the fastening element for establishing a first load transmission path via the bushing arrangement and bypassing the fastening element in a first load condition. Further, the fastening device is adapted to allow the first member to move relative to the fastening element in a second load condition such that the first part of the bushing arrangement can be brought into contact with the fastening element for establishing a second load transmission path between the first member and the second member via the fastening element.
