Detection of notches and cracks based on the monitoring of local strain and the solution of inverse problems
(2019-08-14)
Engineering structures are in general exposed to cyclic or stochastic mechanical loading. Exhibiting incipient cracks, particularly light‐weight shell and plate structures, suffer from fatigue crack growth, limiting the life time of the structure and supplying the risk of a fatal failure. Due to the uncertainty of loading boundary conditions and the geometrical complexity of many engineering structures, numerical predictions of fatigue crack growth rates and residual strength are not reliable. Most experimental ...

Influence of the jet velocity on the weld quality of magnetic pulse welded dissimilar sheet joints of aluminum and steel
(2019-08-07)
The object of this investigation is to determine the influence of the jet velocity on the weld quality of sheet joints produced via magnetic pulse welding. The use of a suitable high‐speed camera system enables to observe the jet in detail, to determine its velocity during the collision process and to compare them to the achieved qualities (tensile strength, weld seam characteristics) of the welded samples. The results show that the quality of the weld generally correlates with the jet velocity, however the mere ...
