Correlation of surface and interfacial temperature during differential ultrasonic spot welding

Ultrasonic spot welding (USW) has become an attractive joining method for thermoplastic polymers (TP) and thermoplastic matrix composites (TPMC). In the USW process, the material to be joined is subjected to mechanical vibrations of high frequency, causing intermolecular and surface friction which h...
