However, weld zone tested individually, for the cover as well as the root pass of the C-groove joint possessed highest CVN (Charpy V-notch) values, both at room temperature and 0 °C.
The results of this study reveal that among all types of groove formations used for welding, double-V groove joint possessed maximum YS (yield strength) and UTS (ultimate tensile strength), besides maximum strength ratio (YS/UTS) that was followed by U-groove joint and C-groove joint, respectively.
The findings of the experiment demonstrate that the blind-bolted endplate composite joints possess appropriate ductility and adequate energy dissipation and, through reasonable design, they can satisfy the anti-seismic requirements in most seismic zones.
Solder joints possess a small thickness of the order of a few grains but they remain one of the key concerns in thermo-mechanical reliability of high-power electronic systems.
It was shown that those VAG signals from abnormal joints possess different waveform pattern in comparison to those from healthy joints [ 11, 12].
Additional studies have shown that the substrate dependence was due to the cured adhesive in the different joints possessing different values of glass transition temperature.
Furthermore, these welded joints possessed equivalent fatigue performance relative to identical test specimens machined from wrought product forms, both bar and extrusion.
In joints possessing one bursal recess it is usually located below the middle glenohumeral ligament; those possessing two disclose one recess above and one below the ligament.
Discussion: In general, a kinematic joint possesses more than one constraint reaction, for example, there exist 5, 4, 4 and 3 constraint reactions for an R joint, universal joint (U), cylindrical joint (C), and spherical joint (S), respectively.
