Abstract: A method for joining dissimilar materials is provided. The method includes a solid-state joining process in which a rivet is plunged into a predrilled hole in a top workpiece. When the rivet contacts the bottom workpiece, ultrasonic vibration by oscillatory motion of a sonotrode, such as horizontal, vertical, or rotational motion, creates frictional heat at the interface between the rivet and the lower workpiece. With the aid of frictional heat and axial compression, metallurgical bonding is achieved at the interface between the rivet and the bottom sheet, while being below the melting temperature of the bottom workpiece. The sonotrode is retracted while the rivet remains.

Abstract: A tape adapted to be attached to a workpiece. The tape has a pattern for checking tension applied to the tape. The pattern is provided on the whole or part of the front side of the tape. The tension may be checked before expansion of the tape, during expansion of the tape, or after expansion of the tape. The tension may be checked after attaching the tape to the workpiece. By using a tape expander having four holding units holding the four side edge portions of the tape, the tape is expanded by moving the four holding units holding the tape so that the holding units are moved away from the workpiece. Deformation of the pattern due to the expansion of the tape is checked by visual inspection or by using an imaging camera to thereby determine the attached condition of the tape to the workpiece.

Abstract: Process and an apparatus for applying noise-reducing elements to a tyre for vehicle wheels that has a radially inner surface with a service area and having a circumferential dimension. The process determines the position in circumferential direction of the service area on the radially inner surface of the tyre, determines the position in circumferential direction of a target area on the radially inner surface of the tyre based on the position in circumferential direction of the service area, and applies a noise-reducing element at the target area. The position in circumferential direction of the service area is determined by circumferentially inspecting the radially inner surface of the tyre starting from a reference position, detecting the angular position of the service area with respect to the reference position and determining the position in circumferential direction of the service area based on the angular position and on the circumferential dimension of the radially inner surface of the tyre.
