The recent increase in the use of adhesively bonded joints (ABJs) made from dissimilar adherends demands acquisition a better understanding strength and behaviour these joints, including their failure mechanisms. Several studies have reported on such individually, however few compared performances ABJs with varying configurations design parameters, order to determine optimal configuration for h...

The welding of dissimilar materials is one the challenging issues in thefabrication industry to obtain required quality welds using fusion weldingmethods. However, some processes recently improved interface bondingwith low joint strength. Unfortunately, major intermetallic compoundscould not alleviate from interface. Alternatively, solid-statewelding methods revealed fewer intermetallics at for...

It is a requirement of modern age industries, especially the aerospace, automobile, and shipbuilding sectors, to manufacture high strength low weight dissimilar aluminium alloy welded joints. Therefore, aim this project investigate effect tool rotation speed, feed rate, pin type on ultimate tensile (UTS) alloys (2024 Al 5754 Al) in friction stir Nine experiments have been performed using an ort...

Taking the resistance spot welding of automotive steel DC04-HC420LA as an example, failure forces including cross tensile, shear tensile and pull-out tests were obtained in test for dissimilar materials. The fracture model materials was established by finite element analysis method. It compared with experimental data to verify accuracy solder joint mode. And then material card calibrated verifi...

This paper extends information economics in corporate strategy and organizational governance research by using signaling theory to explain firms‟ market entry modes. We exploit features of the IPO context to investigate how signals on newly-public firms shape other companies‟ governance choices to form joint ventures with them versus acquire them. We also develop theoretical arguments on how th...
