Components are fastened with inserts that are placed into a hole in the component and bonded with an adhesive. A decoupling element is provided on the front face of the insert. This diverts the forces around the highly stressed front face of the inserts. The insert may be of a material with a lower stiffness compared with the adhesive. This arrangement may reduce stress peaks and increase the load capacity of the connection. A tool may be provided that reduces air inclusion between the insert and the component during fitting. The connection arrangement can be used when components of different stiffnesses have to be securely connected to one another. This applies to, among other things, fastening of fibre composite components or mineral components to metal components.
An arrangement for fastening a component by an insert, comprising:
