TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate on the mechanical and microstructural properties of dissimilar 2024 and 7075 aluminium sheets joined by friction stir welding (FSW), and successively, the welded sheets have been tested under tension at room temperature in order to analyse the mechanical response with respect to the parent materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of processing parameters on the mechanical and microstructural properties of dissimilar AA6082-AA2024 joints produced by friction stir welding was analyzed.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of processing parameters on mechanical and microstructural properties of AA6056 joints produced by Friction Stir Welding was analysed in different samples obtained by employing rotating speeds of 500, 800 and 1000 rpm and welding speeds of 40, 56 and 80 mm/min.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of processing parameters on mechanical and microstructural properties of AA6082 joints produced by friction stir welding was analyzed by means of tensile tests at room temperature.

TL;DR: In this paper, a non-linear continuum damage mechanics model based on general thermodynamic framework developed by Lemaitre and Chaboche is presented to take into account the material damage evolution at different load levels.
