Abstract

The growing use of thermoplastic polymers in structural composites are mainly due to their intrinsic properties. The joining of these composite structures plays a crucial role in determining its performance. Welding is considered one of the efficient techniques to join thermoplastic polymer composites. In the present work, the weld strength of the carbon fiber polyphenylene sulphide composite using electrical resistance welding is analyzed using the finite element method. The proposed model is validated for the shear strength of the weld joint and equivalent tensile strength is analyzed using the validated numerical model. The result shows that the proposed-model exhibits a shear stress value of 18.29 Mpa, which is almost closer to the experimental lap shear and the equivalent tensile stress simulated is 47.39 Mpa.
