Composite structural elements for permanent joints

It is shown to be possible to produce permanent joints using composite elements. This approach increases the efficiency of technical solutions as a result of taking into account the scale factor, the more efficient determination of the dimensions of the component and the application of rolled metal waste in production. New designs of welded and brazed joints of the T-, lap and butt joint type are proposed. It is shown that with the non-uniform distribution of working stresses, it is possible to increase the efficiency of loading as a result of using composite elements produced from materials of different strength. © 2016 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
