Movable cross-network elastomer with knitting polymers (KP elastomer) were obtained by bulk polymerization of main chain monomers in presence host polymer. The two design strategies successfully improve the toughness and stiffness KP elastomers.

Dissimilar metals joining, especially Aluminum (Al) to copper (Cu), have gained importance in batteries for electric vehicles. Although friction stir spot welding (FSSW) has recently been used dissimilar materials, progress very slow toward understanding the effect of temperature on diffusion condition between two materials with same FCC crystal structure. The thermo-mechanical modeling define ...

An earthquake on a fault separating two dissimilar materials does not have a well-defined moment density tensor. We present a complete characterization of this bimaterial ambiguity in the general case of slip on a fault in an anisotropic medium. The ambiguity can be eliminated by utilizing a potency density rather than a moment density representation of a bimaterial source.

In this work, the dissimilar joint of AA7003-T4 and 6060-T4 alloy has been produced by friction stir welding (FSW). The microstructure was examined by optical microscope (OM), electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the mechanical properties of the joint were investigated. It is demonstrated that sound dissimilar joint can be produced through FSW....

Laser beam welding for the dissimilar Titanium and Aluminium thin sheets is an emerging area which is having wider applications in aerospace, aircraft, automotive, electronics and in other industries due to its high speed, non-contact, precision with low heat effects, least welding distortion, low labor costs and convenient operation. Laser beam welding of dissimilar metal combinations are incr...
