Experimental Investigation on the Joining of Aluminum Alloy Sheets Using Improved Clinching Process
Aluminum alloy sheets have been widely used to build the thin-walled structures by mechanical clinching technology in recent years. However, there is an exterior protrusion located on the lower sheet and a pit on the upper sheet, which may restrict the application of the clinching technology in visible areas. In the present study, an improved clinched joint used to join aluminum alloy sheets wa...
متن کاملInvestigation of Flat Clinching Process Combined with Material Forming Technology for Aluminum Alloy
In recent years, the use of aluminum alloy has tended to increase for building lightweight automobiles to reduce their automotive weight, which is helpful to save energy and protect the environment. In order to join aluminum alloy, a flat-clinching process combined with material forming technology was investigated to join aluminum alloy sheets using an experimental and a numerical method. Al106...
متن کاملAn Experimental Study on Micro Clinching of Metal Foils with Cutting by Laser Shock Forming
This paper describes a novel technique for joining similar and dissimilar metal foils, namely micro clinching with cutting by laser shock forming. A series of experiments were conducted to study the deformation behavior of single layer material, during which many important process parameters were determined. The process window of the 1060 pure aluminum foils and annealed copper foils produced b...
متن کاملFinite element simulation of the clinching process of steel sheets and study on influence of anisotropy on the mechanical behavior of joint
This article describes a numerical study on the TOX-clinching process of the steel sheets. In addition, the influence of plastic anisotropy of the material on joining parameters is analyzed by evolution of the joint parameters such as undercut and neck thickness and punch force-displacement curve. Finite element analysis with ABAQUS/CAE-Explicit program is used to simulate two dimensional and t...
متن کاملPolyhedral Clinching Auctions for Two-sided Markets
In this paper, we present a new model and mechanism for auctions in two-sided markets of buyers and sellers, with budget constraints imposed on buyers. Our mechanism is viewed as a two-sided extension of the polyhedral clinching auction by Goel et al., and enjoys various nice properties, such as incentive compatibility of buyers, individual rationality, pareto optimality, strong budget balance....
