Spot welding, particularly resistance spot welding (RSW), is a critical joining process in
automotive industry. The development of advanced high strength steels for applications in …

Spot welds are used extensively in the automotive industry to join panels, and car bodies
contain many thousands of spot welds. Different finite element models of spot welds have …

Failure mode of resistance spot welds is a qualitative indicator of weld performance. Two
major types of spot weld failure are pull-out and interfacial fracture. Interfacial failure, which …

Resistance spot welding was used to join austenitic stainless steel and galvanized low
carbon steel. The relationship between failure mode and weld fusion zone characteristics …

In this study, the effects of welding time on the tensile-peel strength and tensile-shear
strength of welding joints in electrical resistance spot welding of chromate micro-alloyed …

The current work combines electron backscattered diffraction and Schmid's law numerical
analysis to study the micro-mechanisms responsible for transgranular fracture in magnesium …

In this paper, a 2D axisymmetric model of thermo-elastic–plastic finite element method
(FEM) is developed to analyze the mechanical behavior of resistance spot welding (RSW) …

Microstructure and failure behavior of galvanized low carbon steel resistance spot welds
were investigated. Failure mode, peak load and energy absorption obtained in tensile-shear …

The effects of weld nugget size and expulsion on the performance of low carbon steel
resistance spot weld have been investigated in the present paper. Failure mode, peak load …

The lightweight steel structural systems such as trusses or built-up beams, consisting of thin
gage steel elements, are highly efficient and have the advantages in ease of handling and …
