Joining three car body steel sheets by clinching method

Open Engineering, 2016
The optimization of a car body in terms of cost can be achieved by using different materials in various positions of the car in order to utilize specific properties of each different material. Resistance spot welding is the most used method of joining in

Distribution, scale, and drivers of mass mortality events in Europe's freshwater bivalves

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Mass mortality events (MMEs) are decimating populations and compromising key ecosystem functions around the globe. One taxon particularly vulnerable to MMEs is freshwater bivalve mollusks. This group has important ecosystem engineering capacities and includes highly threatened and highly invasive taxa.

Material Parameter Identification for a Stress-State-Dependent Ductile Damage and Failure Model Applied to Clinch Joining

Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing
Similar to bulk metal forming, clinch joining is characterised by large plastic deformations and a variety of different 3D stress states, including severe compression.

Should more teams “trust the process” of tanking?

Contemporary Economic Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract In many professional sport leagues, the worst‐performing teams receive higher probability of earning top draft picks. This provides teams incentives to purposefully lose, or “tank,” if they are not likely to contend for the playoffs or championships.

Analysis of the influence of forming tool geometry on clinching joint for cylindrical surfaces

Engineering Science and Technology, an International Journal
Clinching is a technique for joining metal sheets without the use of welds or screws. This method of joining uses only the energy of the joining process and no consumables to achieve local deformation of metal pieces.

The Ontology of Intentional Agency in Light of Neurobiological Determinism: Philosophy Meets Folk Psychology [PDF]

, 2017
The moot point of the Western philosophical rhetoric about free will consists in examining whether the claim of authorship to intentional, deliberative actions fits into or is undermined by a one-way causal framework of determinism.

A Review on the Modeling of the Clinching Process Chain - Part I: Design Phase

Journal of Advanced Joining Processes, 2022
In many areas of product manufacturing, constructions are often mechanically joined of different materials to realize assemblies of various complexity with numerous point-shaped connections. Thereby, clinching is a frequently used joining technology. For

Common Equity Investors’ Assessments of the Dilution and Solvency Effects of Preferred Stock Instruments

Journal of Business Finance &Accounting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires dichotomous classification of financial claims as liabilities or equity. Classifying claims is challenging when instruments have attributes of both liabilities and equity (i.e., hybrid instruments).
