Ultrasonic Welding of Metal Sheets covers various aspects of ultrasonic welding (USW) of metal sheets, including the discussion on modeling and numerical simulations of ultrasonic welding to improve this welding process and performance.
This book aims to provide an accessible, comprehensive and up-to-date exposition of the various aspects of joining of dissimilar metal sheets ranging from its fundamentals thorough to metallurgical characteristics covering fundamental concepts, in-detailed explanation about the USW including its implementation, design criteria, work material, welding, thermo-mechanical and research scopes. The book is aimed at researchers, professionals and graduate students in manufacturing, welding, mechanical engineering.
Features
- The ultrasonic spot welding of various metal sheets is described in simplified expression and concepts are elucidated by relevant illustrations.
- Discusses modeling and numerical simulations of ultrasonic welding to improve the ultrasonic welding process and performance
- As opposed to competition in the market, this title provides thorough clarification of ultrasonic spot welding of metal sheets with its applications.
