Connectors for joining aluminum plates
Project ID: D2018-49 Background Joining aluminum and other metal sheets using conventional processes can be problematic. Resistance spot welding (RSW) can expel molten metal, introduce voids/cracks and gas pockets, cause distortion, residual stresses and overall reduced fatigue strength. Friction stir welding (FSW) leaves an exit hole, requires...

Vehicle safety device for active train crossing detection and driver notification
Most level railroad crossings in the United States do not have active safety mechanisms such as gates, warning bells, or flashing lights to warn drivers of active train crossings. Furthermore, distractions and poor visibility can inhibit awareness of an approaching train. This makes level railroad crossings particularly dangerous and results in hundreds...
