Clean Frame Coupling Bonding and Multi-Functional-Tool

摘要

State of the art is joining of components by mechanical fastening; this process by its nature is not a totally clean joint (chips from drilling exist for example). Also fastening may lead to stress concentrations that might lead to fatigue cracks. Bonding is not realised today for major components. Fastening leads also to weight penalties by requirements of material thickness of the joint (Bearing, min. cylindrical part requirement) and the additional weight and cost for fasteners. As well noise pollution may arise by the fastening process.
