Abstract TC4 titanium alloy and AA6061 aluminum are widely used in the transportation industry because of their excellent mechanical properties lightweight. In this work, was solution heat treated between 800 °C 990 for 1 h, water cooled to room temperature. The riveting tensile tests at temperature were conducted evaluate joint performance. strength failure morphology discuss performance joint...

simultaneous dislocation of both interphalangeal (ip) joints of same finger is a highly uncommon finding. and dislocation of metacarpophalangeal (mcp) joint along with interphalangeal joints of thumb are reported in literatures if, scarcely. here we are reporting the three cases, comprising of double dislocation of ip joints in little finger in two patients and simultaneous mcp and ip joint dis...

The mechanical failure of self-piercing rivet (SPR) joints connecting seven series aluminum and high strength steel sheets is investigated, both numerically experimentally. joint mechanisms are characterized for a total four distinct loading modes, including the lap-shear, cross-tension, inclined cross tension coach peel. For analysis underlying influential parameters in each case, designs with...

A large percentage of the railway bridges in the UK rail network and around Europe are of riveted construction exceeding in many cases 100 years of age. The remaining fatigue life of these bridges is difficult to estimate due to the uncertainties regarding the fatigue behaviour of wrought-iron and older steel material, which was used for their construction, as well as the actual loading and the...
