The effect of adherends' thickness on continuous ultrasonic welding of thermoplastic composites
This thesis explores the continuous ultrasonic welding (CUW) of unidirectional carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites, with a focus on the impact of adherend thickness on the welding process and joint quality. As the demand for lightweight, high-performance materials in industries such as aerospace and automotive continues to rise, efficient and scalable welding techniques for thermoplastic composites are becoming essential. CUW presents a promising method for joining large composite structures,offering speed and energy efficiency advantages.
