Friction stir welding (FSW) has achieved remarkable success in the joining and processing
of aluminium alloys and other softer structural alloys. Conventional FSW, however, has not …

Emerging trends in manufacturing such as light weighting, increased performance and
functionality increases the use of multi-material, hybrid structures and thus the need for …

A comprehensive introduction to the concepts of joining technologies for hybrid structures
This book introduces the concepts of joining technology for polymer-metal hybrid structures …

Abstract Ultrasonic Joining (U-Joining) produces through-the-thickness reinforced (TTR)
hybrid joints between thermoplastics and surface-structured metals. The joining parameters …

Riveting process is widely used to join sheets by using rivets. It can be used in many fields
due to its simple process, easy disassembly, and high reliability. In addition, it has …

Abstract Friction Riveting (FricRiveting) is an innovative, fast and energy-efficient spot
joining process used to join lightweight hybrid metal–polymer and metal–composite …

This chapter presents the basics of design of experiments (DoE) and emphasizes on its
utility for the development, deeper understanding, and optimization of metal‐polymer joining …

This study presents detailed analyses of variant joining processes under the category of
friction stir riveting (FSR) that are applied to assemble similar or dissimilar materials by …

Friction Riveting is a spot joining, which consists in rotating a cylindrical rivet and inserting it
into clamped sheets. In the first friction phase, the rotational speed and the applied axial …

In this paper, the sensitivity of carbon fiber reinforced polyether-ether-ketone (CF-PEEK)
friction riveted joints to impact damage was assessed as well as the damage propagation …
