Failure modes of friction stir spot welds in lap-shear specimens of dissimilar high strength dual phase steel (DP780GA) and hot stamped boron steel (HSBS) sheets are investigated under quasi-static an....
Selecting fastener pre-load and strength for tension fastened joints has traditionally been an iterative tradeoff between separation, strength and slip requirements. In this paper, equations are prese....
In this paper, the Battelle structural stress method for evaluating the fatigue life of welded joints is applied to weld-bonded joints. In order to overcome the complexity of modeling and analyzing bo....
In this study, tightening tests for four types of commercial bolts made of nonferrous materials were conducted to investigate torque coefficients that show the tightening accuracy. These four types of....
Adhesive bonding technology is playing an increasingly important role in automotive industry. Ultrasonic evaluation of adhesive joints of metal sheets is a challenging problem in Non-Destructive Testi....
Ultrasonic spot welding (USW) is a promising joining method for magnesium to steel to overcome the difficulties of fusion welding for these two materials with significant differences in melting temper....
MIC-6(R) and other Al alloys are relatively soft in comparison to other materials used for wear surfaces such as hardened steels and other iron-based materials. However, if the wear resistance of Al c....
Development of reliable magnesium (Mg) to steel joining methods is one of the critical issues in boarder applications of Mg in automotive body construction. However, due to the large difference of mel....
