0 Preface

• In 2014 a new Professorship of Joining Technology was established. Dr.-Ing. habil. K.-M. Henkel was appointed to this post in 11/2014. This ensures a further interlinking of the facilities of Fraunhofer and the University of Rostock.

• Currently there are 58 employees at Fraunhofer and 10 employees at the professorships of ProductionTechnology and Joining Technology. The target set for the implementation of an independent Fh institute bythe end of 2015 has almost been achieved.

• This year the implementation of a novel orbital welding unit for the production of pipe nodes, research work on facade structures, which was the subject of a television report, and the introduction of heavy lockbolts for joints placed under high dynamic stress are particulary emphasised. Still there is a real prospect to expand the facility in a 4th construction phase between 2016 and 2018 significantly.Prof. Dr.-Ing. M.-C. Wanner

1.1 General

• The Fraunhofer Application Center for Large Structures in Production Technology (Fh-AGP) is a branch of Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e. V., Munich (Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft for the Promotion of Applied Research).

• The Fh AGP cooperates with the Professorship of Production Technology and theProfessorship of Joining Technology of the Faculty for Mechanical Engineering and ShipTechnology of the University of Rostock.

• Both professorships are part of the Faculty for Mechanical Engineering and ShipTechnology of the University of Rostock where around 1250 students are currently registered (as of the winter semester 2014/15).

• The two facilities work closely together in research and education within the scope of a cooperation contract between the University of Rostock and the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft that was renewed in 2012.

• The Fh AGP is a member of the Fraunhofer Alliance Traffic and of the MHI e.V. (Assembly–Handling Technology–Industrial Robots).

1.8 Purchases of new large machines

• The investments in large machines grew considerably in 2014, with an increase in the investment rate (investment/costs of operation) of more than 23%.

• The main focus of the investment concerned a further expansion of test technology, with a static testing machine with temperature chamber, a high-frequency pulsator and a torque test stand.

• In prospect of the rapid developments in 3D measuring technology , investments in a projection system and in a fast 3D scanner waer necessary.

• These purchases were rounded down - in Welding Technology by an electrogas welding unit and an internal stress analyser - in Joining Technology by a new riveting/clinching unit - in New Materials by a dynamic mechanical analyser, in Robotics by a lightweight robot and a automated guided Vehicle and in Organisational Engineering by hardware and software for mobile 3D factory planning.

23

• Measurement of internal stress with the drilled hole method• Use of ESPI (Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry) makes the complicated and

time-consuming application of DMS unnecessary• Speckle patterns generated by laser radiation and the optical roughness of a

sample change and thus allow conclusions to be made concerning stresses• Determination of the internal stresses in almost all materials, including those

that are difficult to X-ray, such as titanium and plastics• Fully automatic configuration with software-controlled advance feed• Evaluation of tension depth profiles with selectable increments within a few minutes• Use with current drill diameters from 0.4 mm to 3.2 mm

allows reproducible depth profile production to within 2 mm• Variable speed of rotation of the drill unit with regulation for constant

holding and precision suspension for exact diameter determination• Little sample preparation (as a rule, only cleaning) prevents

falsification of measuring results

Solution

• Development of suitable test specimens for determining the fatigue strength under shear loading with/without load reversal

• Determination of component-independent fatigue lines and allocation to the catalogue of details on the basis of the FAT classes

• Analysis of the fracture image for characterisation of the failure mechanisms

• Due to the growing demands on the joining technologies, e.g. single-sided accessibility (blind rivets, blind rivet bolts) or durability of the clamping force (lock bolts), such joining elements are increasingly in demand.

• Joints with blind rivets and lock bolts can only be approximatively described under dynamic load in transverse direction and do not permit a reliable design and configuration. No data are available at present for the separate proof of the fatigue strength on the basis of modern dimensioning concepts.

• The proof of fatigue strength for the joint elements investigated can be carried out on the basis of the nominal strain concept.

• According to the relevant guidelines, low-distortion shear joints in steel construction and rail vehicle engineering should be designed as non-slip prestressed joints.

• The basis for the dimensioning are the pretightening force and the coefficient of static friction µ at the contact surfaces.

• Measures to increase the coefficient of friction in order to achieve coefficients of static friction of µ ≥ 0.5 at the contact surfaces are either very expensive or do not provide sufficient protection against corrosion.

• A "prestressed hybrid joint" as a process combination with normally pretightened lock bolts (SRB) or blind rivet bolts (BB) with adhesive should contribute to increasing the service loads with adequate corrosion protection.

• Interdisciplinary progress in joining technology by increasing the bonding strength or the selective increase in the coefficient of friction through the combination of the lock bolt (blind rivet bolt) and bonding processes

• Development of an inter-company design and handling guideline for "prestressed hybrid joints" for the steel construction, wind turbine and rail-bound vehicle construction sectors of the heavy plate industry

• Lack of knowledge of the load-carrying behaviour (lockbolt force function) and measurement of the eccentric stress

• Characterisation of the influence of eccentricity on lockbolt joints:• Formulation of the lockbolt force function• Determination of the resistance to vibration (stress concentration)

of lockbolt joints under eccentric strain• Comparison with bolted joints • Segment settling for lockbolt joints

2.19 Preloading force losses in preloaded bolted joints under fatigue stress

• With bolted connections it is vitally important that the preloading force that is applied to the joint remains there over the working life of the structure to ensure its load-bearing capacity or suitability for use.

• Preloading force losses ΔFp,C,tot from various causes must consequently be estimated realistically at the stage of dimensioning a connection.

• Scientific investigations of preloading losses in bolted joints under fatigue stress are not available.

Solution

2.20 Increase the joining point stiffness through Z-pins in the mechanical

joining of fibre-reinforced plastics-metal hybrid structures – PLUGZ

Solution

Benefits

• When mechanically joining hybrid composite materials made of metal and fibre-reinforced plastics (FRP) with preloaded connectors, retardation processes are caused in the FRP

• Retardation causes a reduction in the preloading forces andthus endangers the suitability for use of the joint

• FRP hybrid joints are therefore given less preloading than metal joints and can thus only transfer lower forces

• Retardation processes are avoided and increased joint point stiffness

• Increase in the loads that can be transferred by FRP hybrid composite materials

• Increased use of mechanical hybrid joints and thereby increased and extended use of FRP in special forms of machine construction

• Joints of pipework in ship construction are currently predominantly welded and in some cases mechanically produced.

• Mechanical socket systems are classified as non-maintenance-free and can therefore only

be used at accessible points; they also allow only limits compensation of large tolerances.• Use of welding methods results in destruction of the corrosion protection coatings of pipes
