Book Ultimate Strength of Resistance Spot Welds Subjected to Combined Tension and Shear

Download or read book Ultimate Strength of Resistance Spot Welds Subjected to Combined Tension and Shear written by YL. Lee and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new test setup and data concerning the ultimate strength behavior of resistance spot welds in a mild strength steel subjected to combined tension and shear loads are presented. A test plan based on a design of experiments (DOE) with three design factors (coupon width, coupon length, and nugget diameter) was conducted to investigate the influence of the factors on the ultimate strength of the resistance spot welds under different loading angles. In this program, test loads were monotonically applied to the resistance spot weld at a specific angle until the load carrying capacity of the resistance spot weld was exceeded. It was found that the nugget diameter contributes the most (more than 70%) to the total variation of the recorded ultimate strength and that the coupon length has little effect. A deterministic ultimate strength model was proposed to take into account the interaction of in-plane shear and 90° out-of-plane tensile loading in the resistance spot weld. A reliability model was also demonstrated to evaluate the ultimate strength of a single resistance spot weld.

Book Performance Evaluation of Resistance Spot Welded Interstitial Free Steel Under Cryogenic Conditions

Download or read book Performance Evaluation of Resistance Spot Welded Interstitial Free Steel Under Cryogenic Conditions written by Gopa Banerjee and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shear tensile (strain rate 102/s) performance of spot welded joints at cryogenic temperatures has been studied considering it as a simple method to indicate the crash resistance performance. The strength of different resistance spot welded joints of interstitial free steel under various heat input conditions has also been evaluated at room temperature for comparison. Micromechanism of fracture of the spot welded joints is investigated by scanning electron microscopy. Although an increase in shear tensile strength with decreasing test temperature is observed in all the spot welds, considerable variations in fracture mode exist in contrast to the room temperature test. The high heat input spot welds remain ductile at all test temperatures, however, low heat input welds become considerably brittle at cryogenic temperatures. Furthermore, medium heat input welds can maintain ductility until 0°C and there is loss of ductility with further lowering of test temperature.
