Abstract
When subjecting a metallic structure to an impact or a crash loading, two kinds of fracture can be seen to appear jointly: rupture initiated in the sheet and rupture located in the joint areas. Depending on the type of transportation mean and materials used for the design of the vehicles, structures can be assembled either by rivets, spotwelds, weld beads and, more recently, Friction Stir Welded joints. To prevent the failure of these joints, which can lead to a complete and particularly brutal structural dismantlement, their mechanical behaviour must be studied under quasi-static and transient dynamic loadings.
