Abstract:Intelligent light weight concepts are increasingly designed as multi-material systems in order to achieve optimized properties through a targeted combination of materials. For these applications, the market demands joining technologies that make it possible to join foreign materials reliably (e.g., incompatible thermoplastics, thermoplastic-metal and thermoplastic-thermoset). In view of these industrial challenges, thermoplastic staking is an established forming process. At present, computer-aided development … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
