A carbon-fiber–reinforced thermoplastic (polyamide 6 with 20 wt.% carbon fiber addition)
and an aluminum alloy (A5052) were joined using friction lap joining. The joint …

The mechanical and electrochemical behavior of ultrasonic spot welded hybrid joints, made
of AA5754 aluminum and carbon fiber reinforced epoxy with a co-cured thermoplastic …

Injection molded direct joining (IMDJ) is one of the metal-plastic direct joining processes and
is based on a combination of a special surface treatment of a metal piece and an insert …

A thermoplastic ABS and an aluminium alloy 6061-T6 were joined using friction lap welding
(FLW). The joint characteristics were evaluated to investigate the effects of 6061-T6 surface …

The aim of this paper is to present a simple and applicable model for predicting the dynamic
behavior of bolted joints in hybrid aluminum/composite structures and its model updating …

Strong metal/non-polar plastic dissimilar joints are highly demanded for the lightweight
design in many fields, which, however, are rather challenging to achieve directly via …

The present experimental investigation aims to investigate the effect of salt-fog exposition on
the mechanical behaviour of composite/metal riveted joints. To this aim, two kinds of joint …

Polypropylene (PP) is wildly used to light the weight of advanced cars and vehicles due to its
good resistance to abrasion and wear, high flexibility, and excellent impact strength …

Ceramic–metal functionally graded materials (FGMs) have been extensively used in
aerospace engineering where high strength and excellent heat insulation materials are …

This study proposed a hybrid joining technique for polymer and galvanized high-strength
steel (GHSS) based on injection molding. Hot water treatment (HWT) was proposed to …
