Thanks guys for the posts. I am wondering if you could suggest some sources (text books, paper,...) discussing the fundamentals of load transfer in such joints under static and fatigue experiments.
And of course we are not assuming to use spot welds in primary structures, otherwise I won't use...
Dear all,
I am a materials scientist/engineer working in the area of spot welding development for aircraft structures. As new tasks I have to analyse the joints mechanics (quasi-static strength, fatigue life). As a starting point we would like to base our experiments and analysis understanding...
