Experimental study of the mechanical strength and the failure of multi-sheet, multi-material spot-welded assemblies under pure and combined loading conditions

Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) is widely used in the automotive industry thanks to its production convenience and cost effectiveness. Around four thousands spot welds are indeed employed to assemble the body-in-white. RSW of multiple sheets and combining multiple materials are increasingly realized....
