Compared to most thermomechanical processing methods, friction stir welding (FSW) is a
recent technique which has not yet reached full maturity. Nevertheless, owing to multiple …

To comprehensively investigate the effect of sealing treatment on mechanical properties of
CFRP-aluminum alloy single lap joints (SLJs), three typical hygrothermal environments were …

The anisotropic ductile fracture of a 6260-T6 anisotropic aluminum alloy extrusion is
investigated using a hybrid experimental–numerical approach. A basic fracture testing …

To investigate the degradation mechanism of adhesively bonded CFRP (carbon fiber
reinforced plastics)-aluminum alloy joints applied to high speed EMUs (electric multiple …

The ductility of Al alloys is dictated by the nucleation, growth and coalescence of small
internal voids originating from intermetallic particle fracture and from the presence of pre …

A combined theoretical/experimental approach accurately quantifying post-necking
hardening phenomena in ductile sheet materials that initially exhibit diffuse necking in …

New extensions of a model for the growth and coalescence of ellipsoidal voids based on the
Gurson formalism are proposed in order to treat problems involving shear and/or voids axis …

Applying materials such as CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) and aluminum alloys
to automobiles is an effective way to accomplish lightweight design, thereby bringing energy …

Ductile failure of three 6xxx serie aluminium alloys has been characterized and modelled for
about thirty hardening conditions each. These alloys involve relatively similar composition …

The mechanical properties of age hardenable Al alloys depend strongly on the precipitate
microstructure. This work has investigated the relationship between properties such as …
