Shi, H. (author), Villegas, I.F. (author), Bersee, H.E.N. (author)The process-induced voids during resistance welding of glass fabric-reinforced polyetherimide was investigated. The mechanisms of void formation in adherends, in particular, the residual volatile-induced voids and the fibre de-compaction-induced voids, were analysed. Due to the non-uniform temperature and stress distributions in the joints...journal article 2016

Shi, H. (author), Fernandez Villegas, I. (author), Bersee, H.E.N. (author)Void formation in resistance welding of woven fabric reinforced thermoplastic composites was investigated. Void contents were measured using optical microscopy and digital image process. Un-even void distributions were observed in the joints, and more voids were found in the middle of the joints than the edges. A higher welding pressure was...conference paper 2015
