... of 2.0 mm thick AZ31 plate. Tensile tests were performed on the four welds listed in Table 2 in order to validate the quality of the welds. The tests were performed with a strain rate of 0.084 mm/s. In order that tensile tests be consistent with respect to the rolled microstructure of the AZ31...

... of a finite element model to investigate electricity’s thermal/structural effects on a tensile specimen. The model allows the effect of joule-heating to be separated from other nonthermal property changes caused by the electricity. Comparison with experimental tensile testing with respect to the predicted...

... was proposed as the hemming fracture criterion, and it is believed that bendability/hemmability of aluminum alloys can be directly approximated by the fracture strains from plane-strain tensile tests. The criterion was verified by comparing hemming and plane-strain tensile experiments on AA6111-T4 and AAx611...

.... The tensile test results showed that the bond strength could be increased by increasing the welding pressure or temperature. However, the increase in bond strength by increasing the welding pressure was shown to have an optimal point, after which the bond strength would decrease with further increase...

... generally in close agreement; however, the latter method was expected to be more representative of the entire weld. Tensile-shear tests were conducted on an Instron 5582 tensile testing machine using a constant crosshead velocity of 4 mm ∕ min ( ε ̇ ∼ 10 − 3 - 10 − 2...

The experimental results of the uniaxial tensile test clearly revealed that there were no significant differences between...
