A resistance seam-welding operation is performed on two pieces of 3-mm-thick austenitic stainless steel to fabricate a container. The weld current in the operation is 12,000 amps, the weld duration = 0.25 sec and the resistance at the interface is 90 micro‑ohms. Continuous motion welding is used, with 250-mm-diameter electrode wheels. The individual weld nuggets formed in this RSEW operation have diameter = 8 mm and thickness = 4 mm (assume the weld nuggets are disc‑shaped). These weld nuggets must...
A 30-mm thick AISI 1020 steel plate is sandwiched between two 2024-T3 aluminum plates, one 10-mm thick and the other 20-mm thick, and compressed with a bolt and nut with no washers. The bolt is M10 x 1.5, property class 5.8 a) Determine a suitable length for the bolt, rouded up to the nearest 5 mm b) Estimate the bolt stiffness c) Estimate the stiffness of the members d) Calculate the joint constant C. 20 aA
A 30-mm thick AISI...
