This paper reports an experimental study on the use of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets to strengthen non-load-carrying cruciform welded joints subjected to fatigue loading. Failure modes and corresponding fatigue lives were recorded during tests. Scatter of test results was observed. Thereafter, a series of numerical analyses were performed to study the effects of weld toe radius, the number of CFRP layers and Young's modulus of reinforced materials on local stress concentration at a weld toe. It was found that fatigue life of such welded connections can be enhanced because of the reduction of stress concentration caused by CFRP strengthening. Parametric study indicates that the weld toe radius and the amount of CFRP are the key parameters influencing the stress concentration factors and stress ranges of the joint. Enhancement of modulus for adhesive and CFRP sheets can also be beneficial to the fatigue performance to some extent.

Evaluating the strength performance of spot-welded joints of dissimilar material is critical for their continued integration into the automobile and aerospace industries. The effect of weld joint strength is an important consideration in the design of weld structures. The objective of the present work undertaken to investigate the effect of the input process parameters on the strength of the welded joint of dissimilar material. Full factorial design (FFD) has used for designing the experiment matrix. Further, experimental results have used to develop a mathematical model to predict the strength of the spot weld joint. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) has been applied to establish the correlation between the process parameters and their interaction on the output. The confirmation test case experiments have conducted for validating the developed mathematical model and observed that the developed model is capable of evaluating weld joint strength within the process parameters.

2519A/7A52 aluminum alloys were welded by using ER4043 and ER2319 welding wires with the method of MIG. The mechanical properties, microstructures as well as fracture of welded joints were studied. The results show that the welding wire of ER2319 is favorable for grain refinement of welding structures, and the strength and elongation of the joint are better than that welded by ER4043 welding wire. While for the use of ER4043, the strength and ductility of joint decline due to the generation of Si-rich brittle phase, and the fracture of weldment is mostly brittle type.

In general, the welded joints are multifactorial notches. This study is focused to separate the geometrical influence (when the weld can be seen on the surface) and technological factors (internal defects of the weld, structural changes of the material and residual stress) on its fatigue life. Proposed methodology of this separation comes out from the cyclic test of three specimens – group with existing weld, group without weld joint (base material) and another group where was removed outer geometry of the weld.
