Fracture modeling of resistance spot welded ultra-high-strength steel considering the effect of liquid metal embrittlement crack

Zinc-coated ultra-high-strength steel (UHSS) sheets are highly susceptible to liquid metal embrittlement (LME) during resistance spot welding. However, systematic understanding on LME cracks in the pullout fracture of UHSS welds is still lacking. This study employs artificially created pre-cracks on...
