Dynamic damage assessment of resistance spot welding for dissimilar plates by using model updating approach

Top hat plate structure was fabricated in this study to represent floor pan compartment of body in white (BIW) structure, by using two dissimilar materials which are mild steel and stainless steel that were joined together through resistance spot weld (RSW) process. Objectives of this study were to...
