Finite element analysis (FEA) and continuum mechanics techniques have been used to model the thermal residual stress distribution in bonded joints and assess the suitability of using two-dimensional (2D) analysis methods. The methods are first employed to investigate stresses in metal-epoxy bi-material strip samples. The change in curvature of two bi-material strip systems during heating and co...

Abstract Nowadays, the use of different classes materials in same structure is increased to keep pace with innovation and high structural performances. In this context, components made need be joined together a possible solution given by arc welding. Dissimilar welded joints must often able withstand fatigue loads; however, Design Standards provide strength categories only for homogeneous joint...

Joining of the similar & dissimilar materials alloys using heat friction in currently being used, especially for non-ferrous which are considered as non-weldable alloys. Al 2024-T6 6061-T6 having length 70mm and 12mm diameter were welded by welding process. Similar samples obtained applying different combinations parameters like pressure 30bar, forging from 50 to 60 bar, rotational speed 22...
