Fatigue life analysis in the residual stress field due to resistance spot welding process considering different sheet thicknesses and dissimilar electrode geometries

Abstract: A typical vehicle body contains many 3-sheet spot-welded connections with different sheet thicknesses. In addition, the use of dissimilar electrode geometries is extremely common in the automotive industry. These two factors lead to an asymmetric spot weld with asymmetric residual stress distribution and heat-affected zone. This asymmetry has considerable effects on the fatigue behavior of these joints. Although many previous studies were dedicated to the analysis of spot welds, consideration of different elec… Show more

“…A crack's "lifecycle", which culminates in fatigue failure of a cyclically loaded component, is divided into five stages: crack initiation, microstructurally short crack propagation, mechanically/physically short crack propagation, protracted crack propagation, and final structure fracture [122]. Since most industrial parts are under the effect of dynamic and repeating loads, the occurrence of fatigue phenomenon in the industry is inevitable [123][124][125][126][127][128]. In this regard, large industries such as petrochemical and power plants are not excluded.…”

“…In addition, at high temperature the stress properties decrease. Tensile residual stresses make the material weaker and shortens the life cycle of fatigue leading to corrosion cracking, distortion, stress fatigue cracking, and premature component failures [15][16]. Gajalappa et al [5] applied thermo-mechanical deformation technique to analyze the flow behaviour of Inconel 600 in the temperature range of 950 ºC to 1100 ºC and strain rate range of 10 -3 to 1 s -1 .…”

“…To improve the fatigue life of metallic materials, scientists proved that the two factors of compressive residual stress on the surface and an ultrafine grain in the surface are very effective. This conclusion is due to the fact that the initial damages caused by cyclic loading always appear as surface cracks [17][18][19][20][21]. As a result, fatigue properties can be improved by increasing the surface strength.…”
