    • English
    Fundamentals of Extrusion-Based Aluminum Welding and Additive Manufacturing explores the potential of extrusion-based aluminum welding and additive manufacturing (AM) in an industrial context, in light of how age-hardened Al–Mg–Si alloys respond to conventional fusion welding and friction stir welding (FSW). The primary focus is on the hybrid metal extrusion and bonding (HYB) process, which employs continuous rotary extrusion to achieve metallurgical bonding between different metals and alloys in the solid state with the addition of aluminum filler metal. Thanks to its versatility and flexibility, the HYB process can be applied to a wide range of operations, including butt, fillet, and lap welding, as well as plate surfacing, multimaterial welding, and AM.The chapters are organized in a manner that makes the HYB technology easily accessible to professionals in both academia and industry who are already familiar with FSW. Detailed information is provided on the design and operation of the PinPoint extruder, representing the core outcome of the HYB development project. To help readers with diverse backgrounds understand and engage with the topics covered, the learning process is enhanced by integrating relevant physically based models into specially designed case studies throughout the text.

    • English
    Mechanics of Materials: An Introduction to the Mechanics of Elastic and Plastic Deformation of Solids and Structural Materials, 4th Edition covers the behaviors of materials and structures under various loads, the ways in which they react to applied forces, the resulting deflections, and the stresses and strains that need to be considered when designing a mechanical component. It begins with an introduction to the concepts of stress, strain, shear force, and bending moments, then progresses to an examination of bending, shear, and torsion in elements such as beams, cylinders, shells, and springs. A simple treatment of complex stress and strain leads to a study of the theories of elastic failure and an introduction to the experimental methods of stress and strain analysis. Building on those fundamentals, the book then extends the scope of the materials covered into more complex areas such as unsymmetrical bending, loading and deflection of struts, rings, discs, cylinder plates, diaphragms, and thin walled sections. The finite element method, and more advanced topics such as contact and residual stresses, stress concentrations, fatigue, and creep and fracture are also covered. Each chapter contains a summary of the essential formulae developed in the chapter, as well as a large number of worked examples which progress in level of difficulty. Additionally, each chapter concludes with an extensive selection of problems for solving by the reader.
