They show high specific strength- and stiffness properties, good damping characteristics and recycling capabilities, while being able to show a higher energy absorption capacity than comparable metal constructions. Nowadays, multi-material designs are an established way in the automotive industry to combine the benefits of metal and fiber-reinforced plastics. Currently used technologies for the joining of organic sheets and metals in large-scale production are mechanical joining technologies and adhesive technologies. Both techniques require large overlapping areas that are not required in the design of the part. Additionally, mechanical joining is usually combined with "fiber-destroying" pre-drilling and punching processes. This will disturb the force flux at the joining location by causing unwanted fiber- and inter-fiber failure and inducing critical notch stresses. Therefore, the multi-material design with fiber-reinforced thermoplastics and metals needs optimized joining techniques that don't interrupt the force flux, so that higher loads can be induced and the full benefit of the FRP material can be used. This article focuses on the characterization of a new joining technology, based on the Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) welding process that allows joining of organic sheets and metals in a load path optimized way, with short cycle times. This is achieved by redirecting the fibers around the joining area by the insertion of a thin metal pin. The path of the fibers will be similar to paths of fibers inside structures found in nature, e.g. a knothole inside of a tree. As a result of the bionic fiber design of the joint, high joining strengths can be achieved. The increase of the joint strength compared to blind riveting was performed and proven with stainless steel and orthotropic reinforced composites in shear-tests based on the DIN EN ISO 14273. Every specimen joined with the new CMT Pin joining technology showed a higher strength than specimens joined with one blind rivet. Specimens joined with two or three pin rows show a higher strength than specimens joined with two blind rivets.}, language = {en} } @misc{SanthanakrishnanBalakrishnanSeidlitzAmbrosioetal., author = {Santhanakrishnan Balakrishnan, Venkateswaran and Seidlitz, Holger and Ambrosio, Marcello and Schuhmann, Tilo}, title = {Study on the Quality of Quasi-Isotropic Composite Laminates Containing a Circular Hole}, series = {Journal of Materials Science Research}, volume = {6}, journal = {Journal of Materials Science Research}, number = {4}, issn = {1927-0593}, doi = {10.5539/jmsr.v6n4p67}, pages = {67 -- 78}, abstract = {Composite structures used in modern engineering applications are often subjected to circular holes in order to join with metal components via riveting, bolting or pinning joints. These design based holes will interrupt the force flux in the direction of the fibers and create high stress concentrations near the notched area. Objective of the project is to understand the quality of the quasi-isotropic composite laminates ([45°, -45°, 0°, 90°]S) containing circular hole. To achieve this objective, a 3-phase portal milling machine and a 5kW continuous wave (cw) CO2 laser system were used to produce the circular holes in the composite laminates. The processing parameters for both the processes are varied to understand its influence. The quality of the circular hole produced by these methods are further investigated and compared in order to arrive at the optimum processing parameters for the given quasi-isotropic composite laminates. The hole qualities were evaluated by means of delamination factor caused by milling; cone angle, matrix evaporation for cw-CO2 laser system. For further comparisons, the optimal parameter combinations of both methods were selected for a tensile test according to the standard ASTM D5766-2002.}, language = {en} } @misc{SanthanakrishnanBalakrishnanSeidlitz, author = {Santhanakrishnan Balakrishnan, Venkateswaran and Seidlitz, Holger}, title = {Potential repair techniques for automotive composites: A review}, series = {Composites Part B: Engineering}, journal = {Composites Part B: Engineering}, number = {145}, issn = {1359-8368}, doi = {10.1016/j.compositesb.2018.03.016}, pages = {28 -- 38}, abstract = {Composite materials have gained popularity in automotive industries due to its lightweight potential, good damping behaviour as well as high strength and stiffness properties.
