Abstract T‐stubs and L‐stubs loaded in tension are generally assumed contact with a rigid foundation. The prying force stiffness of these components depend on this hypothesis. For double web angle riveted connections, the rests deformable beam/column web. objective present paper is to take into account effects deformability development area, rivet forces tensile stiffness. An enhanced theory be...

Fretting wear in aluminium alloy AA5754 joined by self-pierce riveting (SPR), a relatively new fastening technique increasingly used in vehicle structures, has been investigated in this paper. Surface damages have been induced when a joint experienced a sinusoidal cyclic tension-tension load. Various degradation zones have been characterised in the contact surfaces between the aluminium sheets,...

there exist simple theories to predict the strain of sandwich structures under a bending load and specific support conditions. although theoretical predictions are highly effective, but the role of testing in validation of these theories and their progress is undeniable. the main goal of the present paper is to prepare a test instruction in order to minimize the error of data acquisition and th...

in this study, dynamic buckling of embedded laminated nanocomposite plates is investigated. the plates are reinforced with single-walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) where to obtain the equivalent material properties of them, mori-tanaka model is applied. based on the sinusoidal shear deformation theory (ssdt), the motion equations are derived using energy method and hamilton's principal. the...
