This paper presents a detailed experimental examination of the influence of the thickness of flat energy directors (ED) on the ultrasonic welding (USW) process for carbon fibre/polyetherimide composites. Three thicknesses of flat ED were compared: 0.06 mm, 0.25 mm and 0.50 mm. Power and displacement data for 0.06 mm-thick EDs did not clearly...

In this work, the effect of temperature exposure on the strength of resistance welded joints is analysed. Glass fibre polyphenylene sulphide (GF/PPS) laminates were joined using the resistance welding technique and a stainless steel metal mesh as the heating element. Single lap shear tests at temperatures between 20°C and 150°C were performed to...

Thermoset composites are widely used for the manufacturing of modern composite aircrafts. The use of thermoplastic composites (TPC) in aerospace applications is, however, gradually increasing owing to their cost-effectiveness in manufacturing and improved damage tolerance. An example of the use of thermoplastic composites in aircraft is the...
