The demands for higher fuel efficiency in the automotive sector have motivated the
increased use of multi-material combinations for lightweight designs in recent years. This …

With the implementation of environmental protection, sustainable development and
conservation-oriented policies, components and parts of thin-walled welded tubes have …

In this work, we develop a physically-based crystal plasticity model for the prediction of cyclic
tension–compression deformation of multi-phase materials, specifically dual-phase (DP) …

The ability to model the cyclic behavior of low yield point steel accurately is essential for its
application to seismic design. In this study, uniaxial tests of monotonic and strain controlled …

The asymmetric material flow, severe plastic deformation and thermal cycle imposed on the
base material during friction stir welding (FSW) result in unique microstructural development …

Springback is one of the most important problems that should be compensated in sheet
metal forming process with the increasing application of advanced high strength steels and …

Current welding technologies for production of aluminum tailor-welded blanks (TWBs) are
utilized in low-volume and niche applications, and they have yet to be scaled for the high …

Aluminium alloys are lightweight materials relatively used in automotive industries.
However, welding using the conventional welding methods is known to be difficult. In this …

Tailor welded blanks (TWB) in Al alloys are an attractive structural solution for application in
the shipbuilding sector, mainly due to reductions in weight and lower production costs. In the …

Internal features and defects such as joint line remnant, kissing bond, and those induced by
an initial gap between the two parent sheets were investigated in AA2198-T851 friction stir …
