In certain embodiments of the present disclosure a method for modifying a composite article is described. The method includes positioning a plug made from composite material at a site on the composite article. The method further includes rotating at least one of the plug and the article at a rate of speed sufficient to form an inertia bond between the plug and the site of the composite article. The plug and the site are engaged to effect an inertia bond therebetween.
