  • Damage Tolerance Behaviour of Integral Aircraft Structures Obtained by Stationary Shoulder Friction Stir Welding
    Damage Tolerance Behaviour of Integral Aircraft Structures Obtained by Stationary Shoulder Friction Stir Welding Vom Promotionsausschuss der Technischen Universität Hamburg zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doktor-Ingenieur (Dr.-Ing.) genehmigte Dissertation von Alessandro Barbini aus Pisa (Italien) 2021 1. Gutachter: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Norbert Huber 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr.-Ing Xiang Zhang Vorsitzende: Prof. Dr. Erica Lilleodden Mündliche Prüfung: 3. Juli 2020 Abstract Research focusing on new ways to achieve weight reduction without sacrificing the safety performances of an aircraft is the subject of a constant push in the aeronautical industry. The use of riveting to join skin and stringer is highly optimised but in order to reduce structural weight, aside from the continuous development of new materials, it is important to use the already available materials in an efficient way. For this reason, friction stir welding (FSW) was looked at for many years as a suitable replacement alternative for riveting but the focus of the research was mostly driven with a material science point of view. Therefore, the development of a new solid-state welding technology ensuring good material properties and, at the same time, being investigated as a structural joint is still a necessity. The present-study addresses the development of a new procedure for joining skin and stringers made of dissimilar aluminium alloys by stationary shoulder friction stir welding (SSFSW), which is to be applied in primary aircraft structures. Three different joint configurations were developed, and their performances were compared. At first, a fundamental analysis of the correlation between the two main process parameters, welding speed and rotational speed on heat development and joint formation, was conducted.

Henry Submitted to the Department of Ocean Engineering in May, 1974, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ocean Engineering and Masters of Science in Mechanical Engineering. ABSTRACT Out-of-plane distortion caused by angular changes at fillet welds in aluminum structural panels was examined from two viewpoints. In the first phase of this work a series of experiments was conducted to examine elastic-plastic prestraining of test specimens to be fillet welded as a means of reducing out-of -plane distortion. Data gathered from these tests was correlated with previous experiments in the use of aluminum. A guide in the use of elastic-plastic prestrain- ing for 3/8" and 1/2" was developed. In phase two of this work a two-dimensional program was adapted to the structural aluminum panels used in phase one and tested for accuracy.

  • Review on Multi-Pass Friction Stir Processing of Aluminium Alloys
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 22 July 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202007.0514.v1 Review Review on Multi-Pass Friction Stir Processing of Aluminium Alloys Oritonda Muribwathoho1, Sipokazi Mabuwa1* and Velaphi Msomi1 1 Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Mechanical Engineering Department, Bellville, 7535, South Africa; [email protected]; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: 27 21 953 8778 Abstract: Aluminium alloys have evolved as suitable materials for automotive and aircraft industries due to their reduced weight, excellent fatigue properties, high-strength to weight ratio, high workability/formability, and corrosion resistance. Recently, the joining of similar and dissimilar metals have achieved huge success in various sectors. The processing of soft metals like aluminium, copper, iron and nickel have been fabricated using friction stir processing. Friction stir processing (FSP) is a microstructural modifying technique that uses the same principles as the friction stir welding technique. In the majority of studies on FSP, the effect of process parameters on the microstructure was characterized after a single pass. However, multiple passes of FSP is another method to further modify the microstructure in aluminium castings. This study is aimed at reviewing the impact of multi-pass friction stir processed joints of aluminium alloys and to identify a knowledge gap. From the literature that is available on multi-pass FSP, it has been observed that the majority of the literature focused on the processing of plates than the joints. There is limited literature reporting on multi-pass friction stir processed joints. This then creates a need to study further on multi-pass friction stir processing on dissimilar aluminium alloys.

  • 29 the Term Short Crack I . Reserved for a Crack Whose
    29 The term short crack I . reserved for a crack whose maximum dimensions are small relative to either:- 1 . some microstructurally important dimension (eg. grain size), ie a continuum mechanics limitation, or 2 . some local plastic field with which the crack might be associated, or 3. simply physically small. Short crack growth below the threshold stress intensity found for large cracks is not surprising if one considers that cracks generally initiate from very small initial defects. Since AK is proportional to Aaja sarly crack growth must involve very low stress intensity ranges [107], This does not, however, explair <hv short cracks grow faster than long tracks, nor why some material exhibit extensive short crack behaviour while others exhibit practically none [2 , 108]. To summarise, short crack behaviour comprises two aspects :- 1. Short cracks grow faster than long cracks under nominally identical stress Intensity ranges (AK) and at values below the 1 _.ng crack threshold. 2, Short cracks exhibit transient dips and peaks in the growth late curve. 2.5.1 Reason* for faster short crack growth Various reasons have been suggested to explain faster short crack growth, however, many are limited to certain situations and they may not occur concurrently. 1. Short cracks initially proceed along the most favourable slip band system, or along "soft spots" (crystal logr -' 'ically favourable growth) [80, 45], 2. Where plastic damage occurs prior to initiation in alloys in whicn initiation takes a long time, more rapid growth might be expected in the high damage aren [109], 3. Crack tip strains and crack tip opening displacements for short cracks have been reported to be larger than for long cracks [79, 80, 110-113]; at lov stresses these differences can exceed an order of magnitude.

All existing (as of 9/15/11) characters and other Creative Elements that are “Primarily Associated With” Spider-Man but were “Inadvertently Omitted” from Schedule 6. The Agreement contains detailed definitions of these terms, but they basically conform to common-sense meanings. If SPE and Marvel cannot agree as to whether a character or other creative element is Primarily Associated With Spider-Man and/or were Inadvertently Omitted, the matter will be determined by expedited arbitration. All newly created (after 9/15/11) characters and other Creative Elements that first appear in a work that is titled or branded with “Spider-Man” or in which “Spider-Man” is the main protagonist (but not including any team- up work featuring both Spider-Man and another major Marvel character that isn’t part of the Spider-Man Property). The origin story, secret identities, alter egos, powers, costumes, equipment, and other elements of, or associated with, Spider-Man and the other Creative Elements covered above.
