Method for connecting fiber-reinforced structural components

A method for connecting fiber-reinforced structural components, comprising the steps of:

• supplying a first fiber-reinforced structural component and a second fiber-reinforced structural component;
• heating the first fiber-reinforced structural component and the second fiber-reinforced structural component with a heating device;
• producing, with a fastening device, a penetration through the first fiber-reinforced structural component and the second fiber-reinforced structural component;
• and
• connecting the first fiber-reinforced structural component to the second fiber-reinforced structural component with the fastening device;
• wherein the first fiber-reinforced structural component and the second fiber-reinforced structural component are heated by utilizing a laser beam.
