Spotweld Modeling Methodologies and Failure Characterization of Aluminum Resistance Spotwelds (RSW) using LS-DYNA

With an increased use of aluminum in automotive body structures, developing a deep understanding, and capability to model failure of aluminum resistance spotwelds (RSWs) is critical [1]. This paper discusses failure card development of aluminum RSWs using LS-DYNA for certain 5000 and 6000 series flat rolled sheet alloys used in automotive structural applications.
