Abstract:In this work, resistance welding of a glass fiber‐reinforced epoxy composite (GFRC) was studied with numerical optimization and experimental validation. A steel mesh and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) films were used as the heating element and adherent interlayers, respectively. A transient heat transfer module was implemented to conduct the parametric optimization study, with variables of electricity power, clamping distance and weld time. The optimal welding condition was then confirmed as 20 W, 0.4 mm and 3… Show more
