6082 Aluminum Alloy

Clinching joints with an additional deformable rivet are modifications of the clinching joints. The clinch riveting (CR) joint is formed indirectly by a deformable rivet. The research included an analysis of CR joints’ forming process for aluminum alloy sheets made of AW 6082 in T6 state condition and AW 5754 in three different state conditions: H11, H22 and H24. As a result of forming the joint for various sheet arrangements, the highest value of blocking the upper sheet in the lower sheet (tu) was obtained for the arrangements with two 5754-H24 aluminum alloy sheets. For such a large interlock parameter tu, the greatest thinning of lower sheet (tn) was obtained, which influenced the maximum tensile shear force and the joint failure mechanism. Based on the load-displacement diagrams obtained from the static shear test of lap joints, the total energy of failure and energy to achieve the maximum load capacity were calculated. The highest energy absorption to achieve the maximum load capacity, in the case of the same sheet materials, was obtained for the 5754-H11 aluminum alloy sheets. On the other hand, among the tested combinations, the highest value of energy absorption (for the joint maximum load capacity) was obtained for the sheet arrangement: top sheet AW 6082-T6 and the bottom AW 5754-H24. The highest value of the total energy up to fracture was obtained when the material of the top sheet was AW 6082-T6, and the bottom AW 5754-H22. For each sheet arrangement, a similar analysis of the joint strength parameters, interlock parameters and forming force were made.

Dic Technique

Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique gives possibility to observe deformation process in many applications including self-piercing riveting (SPR) hybrid joint. The hybrid SPR joint consists of simple SPR joint made of two adherends, steel tubular rivet (total length of 5 mm) and an adhesive. The adhesive was applied before piercing process. For specimen preparation two different aluminum alloys were used: 2024 and 5005 (2mm thickness both) with tensile strength 400 and 160MPa, respectively. For better understanding of joint forming process and to allow DIC strains observation during the joint creation, a special holder was designed with precisely polished die. The tests were performed by application of the 100kN servo-hydraulic machine, which recorded time, load, displacement and was synchronized with the DIC system. The joint forming process was carried out with 2 mm/min constant speed. During piercing process rivet and upper surface of the adherend were observed and the major strain states were estimated. The uniaxial tensile tests of single lap joints (SLJ) up to the final failure were performed and the displacements and the strains were recorded. In particular the rivet deformation was observed also during the whole loading process. The hybrid SPR joints are very effective, because the load capacity and energy absorption increase more than 1.5 times in comparison to the simple SPR joints.

Because of their distinctive characteristics, aerostatic bearings are particularly suitable for high-precision applications. However, because of the compressibility of the lubricant, this kind of bearing is characterized by low relative stiffness and poor damping. Compensation methods represent a valuable solution to these limitations. This paper presents a design procedure for passively compensated bearings controlled by diaphragm valves. Given a desired air gap height at which the system should work, the procedure makes it possible to maximize the stiffness of the bearing around this value. The designed bearings exhibit a quasi-static infinite stiffness for load variation ranging from 20% to almost 50% of the maximum load capacity of the bearing. Moreover, the influence of different parameters on the performance of the compensated pad is evaluated through a sensitivity analysis.

The Impact

The consideration of the thermal behavior of electric machines is becoming increasingly important in the machine design for electric vehicles due to the adaptation to more dynamic operating points compared to stationary applications. Whereas, the dependency of machine efficiency on thermal behavior is caused due to the impact of temperature on the resulting loss types. This leads to a shift of efficiency areas in the efficiency diagram of electric machines and has a significant impact on the maximum load capability and an impact on the cycle efficiency during operation, resulting in a reduction in the overall range of the electric vehicle. Therefore, this article aims at analyzing the thermal load limits of induction machines in regard to actual operation using measured driving data of battery electric vehicles. For this, a thermal model is implemented using MATLAB® and investigations to the sensitivity of model parameters as well as analysis of the continuous load capacity, thermal load and efficiency in driving cycles under changing boundary conditions are conducted.

Hollow particle (microballoon) filled polymeric composites, called syntactic foams, are tested for impact properties in the present work. Izod type pendulum impact testing is carried out on eight types of foams, which are made of four types of microballoons used in volume fractions of 0.5 and 0.6. Variation in the volume fraction of microballoons leads to a difference in the total energy absorbed during fracture of different types of foams. Results show that syntactic foams containing microballoons of lower density show lower impact strength because of the lower strength of these microballoons. An increase in microballoon volume fraction leads to decreased energy absorption and strength.
