Abstract
The strength and failure modes of resistance welded thermoplastic composites were investigated. Special attention was paid to the effect of basic characteristics of the adherends such as fibre–matrix adhesion and fibre orientation. 8HS woven GF/PEI composites were resistance welded. Intralaminar failure was found to be the major failure mechanism for the well welded joints, consisting of either fibre–matrix debonding or laminate tearing. An...
