Influence of Residual Stress on Fatigue Weak Areas and Simulation Analysis on Fatigue Properties Based on Continuous Performance of FSW Joints

The fatigue weak area of aluminum alloy for a friction stir-welded joint is investigated based on the hardness profile, the residual stress measurement and the simulation analysis of fatigue property. The maximum residual stresses appeared at the heat-affected zone of the joint in the fatigue damage...
