Experimental and numerical evaluation of conduction welded thermoplastic composite joints

B. H. A. H. Tijs et al.

Summary: This study investigates the strength and failure behavior of conduction welded thermoplastic composite joints through numerical and experimental evaluation. The research finds that the joint strength is highly influenced not only by the failure mechanisms of the welded interface but also of the surrounding plies. The high-fidelity modeling methodology can predict the experimental failure mode of welded joints with high accuracy and offers new insights into the key variables influencing the strength of thermoplastic welded joints.

In Situ Characterization of the Reaction-Diffusion Behavior during the Gradient Interphase Formation of Polyetherimide with a High-Temperature Epoxy System

Lucian Zweifel et al.

Summary: This study presents two novel methods for characterizing the reaction-diffusion process during the co-curing of polymers. The first method uses a computer vision algorithm to track diffusion fronts, while the second method utilizes Raman spectroscopy with high spatial and temporal resolution. Both methods provide essential information and can be combined to elucidate phenomena during diffusion.

Resistance welding technology of fiber reinforced polymer composites: a review

Xuhai Xiong et al.

Summary: Resistance welding technique has emerged as a cost-efficient alternative for connecting FRP composites, focusing on parameters control and joint impact phenomena. The technology has been extended to thermoset composites, with various evaluation methods and microscopic evaluations offering promising future applications. Continuous resistance welding (CRW) is introduced as one of the most promising methods for joining.

Data-driven experimental design and model development using Gaussian process with active learning

Jorge Chang et al.

Summary: Interest in computational modeling of cognition and behavior is growing. We propose a data-driven nonparametric framework called GPAL, which combines Gaussian Processes and active learning. By applying GPAL to a delay discounting task, we found that it shows high sensitivity and can identify novel patterns missed by ADO.

Evaluation of Single-Lap and Block Shear Test Methods in Adhesively Bonded Composite Joints

Alec Redmann et al.

Summary: The type of adhesive joint configuration used in composite structures affects the testing results of bonding strength; delamination in single-lap shear joints may result in underestimated joint strength measurements; block shear joints can reduce normal stresses and demonstrate higher joint strength.
