Yayın Measurement and assessment of fatigue life of spot-weld joints(Asme-Amer Soc Mechanical Eng, 2009-01) Ertaş, Ahmet Hanifi; Vardar, Öktem; Sönmez, Fazıl Önder; Solim, ZaferSpot-weld joints are commonly used to fasten together metal sheets. Because fatigue fracture is the most critical failure mode for these joints under fluctuating loads, understanding their fatigue failure behavior and assessment of their fatigue lives are crucial from the viewpoint of failure prevention in design. In this study, a series of experiments was conducted to study the fatigue failure of spot-welded modified tensile-shear specimens made of a low carbon steel. Two different types of resistance spot welding were investigated (manual and automated). Tests were repeated under different load ranges, and the corresponding fatigue lives were determined. The specimens were also examined under an optical microscope. In the numerical part of this study, a finite element analysis was carried out using commercial software, ANSYS, to determine the stress and strain states within the specimens. The material nonlinearity, local plastic deformations around the welds during loading, and the residual stresses and strains developed after unloading as a result of plastic deformations were taken into account. Based on the predicted stress and strain states, fatigue analyses were performed using several models for life assessment. Then, the measured and predicted fatigue lives were compared, and the suitability of the models was discussed. Among the strain-based models, Coffin-Manson and Morrow's means stress models yielded the best predictions.Yayın Enhancing mechanical performance of FDM-printed ABS parts through annealing optimization(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2025-06-18) Kösemen, Elifnur; Bakkal, Mustafa; Kuzu, Ali TanerThis study examines the impact of annealing on the mechanical properties of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) parts produced using fused deposition modeling (FDM). The research investigates how different annealing temperatures (90°C, 105°C, and 120°C), production orientations (upright, on edge, and flat), and infill patterns influence hardness, tensile strength, and impact resistance. Experiments were conducted using a Stratasys F370 printer, and samples were tested following ISO standards for mechanical performance. Results indicated that annealing at 90°C and 105°C generally improved hardness, tensile strength, and impact resistance, particularly for upright and on-edge orientations. However, annealing at 120°C led to a decrease in these properties, likely due to microstructural changes observed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. The study highlights the importance of optimizing production parameters and annealing conditions to achieve desired mechanical properties in FDM-printed ABS parts. These findings may inform post-processing strategies for enhancing the reliability and performance of additive manufactured components, particularly for applications in industries utilizing ABS materials for customized and prototype parts.
