Abstract
A Review of the Mechanical Joining Techniques for Thermoplastics
Highlights
In recent years, the use of thermoplastics has increased significantly in automotive industries, aircraft structures and in other high-performance engineering applications, including wind energy structures, sporting goods, and medical appliances
The joining of thermoplastic composites is an important step in the manufacturing of components, especially in structural application
This paper presents a mini literature review of mechanical joining methods for thermoplastic materials and classifies the methods according to the structure of the joining technique
Summary
Nowadays the use of thermoplastic materials has been increasing steadily because of its positive effects on vehicle weight which is directly related to fuel consumption. This paper presents a literature review of joining methods for thermoplastic materials and classifies the methods according to the structure of the joining technique. Within this context, more than 10 studies about mechanical joining techniques for thermoplastic materials are considered. Materials are bonded by using some physical methods such as clipping, riveting, etc
