Mechanical joining of sheets to tubes by a sheet bending-unbending cycle

The utilization of an axial sheet bending-unbending cycle was previously utilized to produce mechanical joints of sheets to rods at ambient temperature by two subsequent operations. In this research, that joining process is now extended to produce a hidden mechanical joint between a sheet and tube t...
