... in this article. Incorporated with FEM, mean stress, mean strain, and microstructure of material after laser forming has been considered in this model. Application of the present model in the prediction of fatigue life has validated through fatigue testing and microstructure analysis. SEM analysis also reveals...

... between the as-resistance spot-welded specimens and the post-weld cold worked resistance spot-welded specimens have been made in this investigation. Fatigue testing was also conducted to evaluate the effect of post-weld cold working process on the fatigue characteristics of resistance spot welds. Results...

... subject to constant amplitude four-point bending fatigue tests under room temperature. The best-case scenario of process capability ratios of fatigue for these samples were evaluated with assumed tolerances of fatigue life. Based on these ratios, the numbers of nonconforming parts were estimated. Under...
