Following previous developments of the authors on deformation-assisted joining of metal tube-sheet connections by annular sheet squeezing, it is the aim and objective of this paper to extend the process applicability domain to polymers and composites. The presentation includes an overview of the main operative parameters, typical plastic deformation modes and process workability limits. Experiments and finite element simulations allowed comparing the results obtained with dissimilar materials against those earlier obtained with metal tubes and sheets. Results confirm the possibility of combining dissimilar materials in form-fit and force-fit tube-sheet connections for applications in flexible lightweight structures.

继作者先前通过环形薄板挤压对金属管-薄板连接进行变形辅助连接的发展之后，本文的目的是将过程的适用范围扩展到聚合物和复合材料。演讲内容包括主要操作参数，典型的塑性变形模式和工艺可加工性极限的概述。通过实验和有限元模拟，可以将使用异种材料获得的结果与先前使用金属管和板材获得的结果进行比较。结果证实了将异种材料组合在形状配合和力配合管板连接中的可能性，以用于柔性轻型结构。
