Summary: In this study, a multiphysics-based hybrid modeling approach is developed to investigate the galvanic corrosion of Al-Fe self-piercing rivet (SPR) joints. Experimental studies are conducted to gather information on the corrosion initiation sites, corrosion evolution, and overall material loss in SPR joints. This information is then used to develop a hybrid model, which integrates the corrosion initiation and evaluation processes. The developed hybrid model allows for parametric studies to analyze the combined effects of multiple corrosion factors on the corrosion behavior of the joints. The model is validated by comparing its predictions with experimental observations.

Two approaches, traditional design of experiments (DoE) and machine learning (ML), were used. ML-based model predicted responses with higher accuracy, while DoE performed slightly better in predicting higher response values. The study also identified influential parameters and their correlation with the mechanical performance of the printed parts.

Summary: This study investigated the damage evolution at the interface of AA2024-T3/CF-PPS friction spot joints using the finite element method. It was observed that the damage initiated at the adhesion zone and then propagated symmetrically towards the center of the joint. However, as the damage advanced into the plastically deformed zone, it became an asymmetrical propagation starting from the free edge of the composite part, suggesting a modification to the failure theory of friction spot joints.

Summary: This study assessed the manufacturing process of metal-polymer hybrid parts using a 3-axis desktop FFF printer. Two printing strategies were compared: direct 3D printing of polymer onto the metal surface and encasing the metal with printed polymer. The materials used included Ti-6Al-4V and polyamide-based polymers. Challenges addressed included heat harvesting from the deposited polymer and positioning the metallic parts to prevent collisions during printing. Pullout tests on enclosed metal revealed that the length of the shared edge significantly affected pullout strength.
