Process and Performance Evaluation of Ultrasonic, Induction and Resistance Welding of Advanced Thermoplastic Composites
The possibility of assembling through welding is one of the major features of thermoplastic composites and it positively contributes to their cost-effectiveness in manufacturing. This paper presents a comparative evaluation of ultrasonic, induction and resistance welding of individual CF/PPS thermoplastic composite samples that comprises an analysis of the static and dynamic mechanical behaviou...
متن کاملMicrowave facilities for welding thermoplastic composites and preliminary results.
The wide range of applications of microwave technology in manufacturing industries has been well documented (NRC, 1994; Thuery, 1992). In this paper, a new way of joining fibre reinforced thermoplastic composites with or without primers is presented. The microwave facility used is also discussed. The effect of power input and cycle time on the heat affected zone (HAZ) is detailed together with ...
متن کاملMeasurement of Thermoplastic Dynamic Modulus using an Ultrasonic Welding System
This paper reports the preliminary results of a newly developed method for measuring dynamic modulus of thermoplastic materials at a given ultrasonic frequency. In the method, a material specimen is squeezed at the tip of the horn of a conventional ultrasonic welding machine. The mechanical impedance of the material specimen under loading is then deduced by processing the input electrical imped...
متن کاملNeural Network-Based Resistance Spot Welding Control and Quality Prediction
This paper describes the development and evaluation of neural network-based systems for industrial welding process control and weld quality assessment. The developed systems utilize recurrent neural networks for process control and both recurrent networks and static networks for quality prediction. The first section describes a system capable of both welding process control and real-time weld q...
متن کاملRobust Process-controller for Nd:yag Welding
A robust process-controller was developed which maintains a fully penetrated weld. This feedback-controller is robust for various process disturbances that may occur, like variations in sheet thickness, welding velocity, focal position, shielding gas variations, etc. The signals from an optical sensor are used to design a so-called “switching” controller, which enables fully penetrated welding ...
