Abstract: This study presents detailed analyses of variant joining processes under the category of friction stir riveting (FSR) that are applied to assemble similar or dissimilar materials by integrating the advantages of both ...

Abstract: This paper aims at providing a state-of-the-art review of an increasingly important class of joining technologies called solid-state (SS) welding, as compared to more conventional fusion welding. Among many other advantages ...

Abstract: In transportation sector, there is an increasing need for joining dissimilar materials for lightweight structures; however, substantial barriers to the joining of dissimilar materials have led to an investigation and ...

Abstract: This research focused on developing a hybrid quality monitoring model through combining the data-driven and key engineering parameters to predict the friction stir blind riveting (FSBR) joint quality. The hybrid model was ...
