Inverse problems with the digital image correlation: approach and applications by Emanuele Sgambitterra, Fabrizio Niccoli

“…Three different case studies are considered: 1) estimation of the stress intensity factor in fracture mechanics problems, 2) estimation of the elastic properties of a material by the Brazilian tests, 3) estimation of the contact pressure generated by thermally activated shape memory alloy (SMA) rings used for pipe coupling. The reliability and the accuracy of the method is demonstrated through systematic comparisons of the results with conventional techniques in experimental mechanics.…”

Development of a New Cold Metal Transfer Arc Additive Die Manufacturing Process by An Zhang, Yanfeng Xing, Fuyong Yang, Xiaobing Zhang, Hongze Wang, Tiejun Yu

“…Due to its high efficiency, cold metal transfer (CMT) arc additive manufacturing presents considerable potential in the aluminium alloy additive manufacturing industry. However, during CMT arc additive manufacturing, the surrounding air environment promotes the lateral flow of liquid aluminium and the instability of the molten pool, reduces the surface quality and material utilisation of deposition walls, and causes internal hydrogen pores and coarse columnar grains, which negatively affect the structure and mechanical properties of the deposition walls. …”

Forming Quality and Fatigue Behavior of Self-Piercing Riveted Joints of DP590 and AA6061 Plates by Yinglian Jia, Zhichao Huang, Yongchao Zhang, Fan Zhang

“…The results show that the maximum static tension of DA32 joints (with an upper plate of DP590) is significantly greater than that of the other kind, and the fatigue life of DA32 joints is always longer than that of AA40 joints when with a 2.0 mm thick AA6061 aluminum alloy upper plate under the same fatigue load. The failure mode of SPR joints changes obviously due to different upper plates, and the fatigue life of the joints can be effectively improved by reducing the microvibration wear.…”
