Abstract
A rod assembly includes a tubular rod body formed from a composite material and a localized sleeve installed to the rod body. The sleeve is secured to the rod body by application of heat to the sleeve material. A bushing is located radially between the rod body and the sleeve. The bushing is configured to absorb thermal energy of the application of heat. A door and hold open rod assembly of an aircraft includes a door, and a hold open rod assembly secured to the door. The hold open rod assembly is configured to support the door in an opened position when the hold open rod is deployed. The hold open rod assembly includes a tubular rod body formed from a composite material, and a localized sleeve installed to the rod body. A bushing is located radially between the rod body and the sleeve.
