Fatigue Characterization and Cyclic Plasticity Modeling of Magnesium Spot-Welds

The automotive industry is adopting lightweight materials to improve emissions and fuel economy. Magnesium (Mg) alloys are the lightest of engineering metals, but work is required to assess their structural strength, especially for spot-welded applications. In the present research, fatigue behavior...
