Joining of Polymer-Metal Hybrid Structures: Principles and Applications baixar o livro de graça

This book introduces the concepts of joining technology for polymer-metal hybrid structures by addressing current and new joining methods. This is achieved by using a balanced approach focusing on the scientific features (structural, physical, chemical and metallurgical phenomena) and engineering properties (performance, modeling, applications, etc.) of the currently available and new joining processes. Recent technologies, such as the Friction Riveting, the Friction Spot Joining and the Friction Stir Joining are discussed, providing the reader with newest information on joining technologies. This is used for applications where the original metal characteristics must remain unchanged. Additional sections cover the main principles of modeling and simulation in joining technology (illustrated with examples from the field polymer-metal joining). Joining methods discussed include; Mechanical Fastening (Bolting, Screwing, Riveting, Hinges and Fits of Polymers and Composites,) Adhesive bonding, and other Advanced joining methods (Ultrasonic Welding, Laser Welding, Induction Welding, etc…)
