In this paper, dissimilar resistance spot welding of AISI 1075 eutectoid steel to AISI 201 stainless steel is investigated experimentally. For this purpose, the experiments are designed using response surface methodology and based on four-factor, five-level central composite design. The effects of process parameters such as welding current, welding time, cooling time and electrode force are inv...

Soil exists mainly in unsaturated conditions. Therefore, accurate prediction of the soil shear strength for conditions also becomes equally important geotechnical design earth structures. This study primarily investigates effect moisture content on its strength. The characteristics silica sands with different grain sizes were studied using modified triaxial apparatus and analytical methods. For...

the spot welding is widely used for joining thin sheets in different industries; such as automotive industry. this method of welding is very easy to automate and maintain. in this study, the effect of nugget diameter on the tensile-shear strength of the spot welding joints was investigated. the specimens were manufactured from aisi 1008 hr sheets with 1.0 mm thickness. the eight different elect...

objectives: this study aimed to compare the shear bond strength (sbs) of composite to stainless steel crowns (ssc) using two mechanical surface treatments (msts) and two bonding systems. materials and methods: eighty-four sscs were divided into six groups of 14; group1: no mst+scotchbond universal adhesive (n+u), group 2: surface roughening by a diamond bur+scotchbond universal adhesive (r+u), ...

An innovative type called "butterfly-shaped links steel plate shear wall (BLSPSW)" was proposed as a lateral load resisting system. In this novel system, by creating butterfly-shaped links in the four sides of the web plate, the lateral load resisting mechanism is not the development of a diagonal tension field on the web plate (similar to Conventional SPSWs), but the capacity of the system is ...
