Exposure to aggressive environmental conditions and specific loads necessitate precise
material selection and manufacturing techniques. Techniques such as overlamination …

The transportation industry has played a crucial role in advancing human society, but it has
also raised concerns about carbon emissions and environmental pollution. As a result …

The joint strength of self-piercing riveting is a key factor for evaluating riveting quality. Shot
peening is a useful process to strengthen sheet metal. To improve the performance of self …

Despite existing studies on the effects of temperature on the behavior of bonded joints, the
role of loading mode and test type (strength, fatigue, and fracture tests) on the rate of …

This study proposed a method of the adhesive-film bonded aluminum/CFRP (carbon fiber
reinforced polymer composite) joints strengthened by ultrasonic vibration. An orthogonal …

Cyclic loading exerts a profound influence on the durability of adhesively bonded joints,
particularly under cyclic impact loads. Under normal cyclic loading, adhesive joints typically …

This study reveals the micro-structure of the naturally oxidized shot-blasting steel substrate
surface and uses a simple resin pre-coating (RPC) approach to fully wet the substrate …

This research investigates the static and high-cycle-fatigue behaviour and failure
mechanisms of co-cured composite single-step joints with two-scale interface toughening …

Carbon fibre/epoxy composite joints were assembled with Poly-etherether-ketone (PEEK)
and Poly-ethylenimine (PEI) films using a co-curing process to prepare single-lap joint …

Traditional resistance spot welding (RSW) has been unsuccessful in forming quality
composite joints between steel–or aluminum–polymer-based composites. This has led to …
