Analysis of Strain Distribution in Notch Zone in Aluminium FSW Joints for Irregular Fatigue Loading Conditions
Abstract:
Joining aluminium alloys with the use of welding techniques often impairs their strength properties and in some cases it is very difficult or even impossible. An alternative method for joining this type of material is friction welding including FSW welding. The airplane aluminium alloy 2024-T3 is an example of material that can be welded using this method. Heat emitted during the process, which contributes to the material plasticisation in the zones of welding, causes significant changes in the material structure, thus affecting the joint properties. Fatigue life calculations of this type of joint can be performed according to different approaches. One of them is a local approach which requires knowledge of local strains or stresses within the notch zone. This paper is a presentation of exemplary results of experimental and numerical tests of strain in the zone of notch that occur in a joint under time variable loading.
