{"abstract":[{"text":"Non-rotationally symmetrical joints can have different properties that can be controlled by the joint orientation. This hypothesis is tested using a Reuleaux triangle joint geometry. A tool design is carried out, followed by a numerical sensitivity analysis of the tool geometry. Initial tools were manufactured for experimental investigations and then adapted based on the findings of the sensitivity analysis. The joints are characterized by micrographs, 3D scans, shear tensile tests, head tensile tests and three-point bending tests and compared with a round geometry. The analysis confirms the hypothesis. Thus, joints with adaptable properties can be produced with one tool set.","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public","date_created":"2025-06-23T07:47:56Z","doi":"10.1016/j.cirp.2025.03.002","project":[{"grant_number":"418701707","name":"TRR 285: TRR 285: Methodenentwicklung zur mechanischen Fügbarkeit in wandlungsfähigen Prozessketten","_id":"130"},{"name":"TRR 285 - B: TRR 285 - Project Area B","_id":"132"},{"name":"TRR 285 – B01: TRR 285 - Subproject B01","_id":"140"}],"publisher":"Elsevier BV","title":"A new joint with versatile properties based on a Reuleaux triangle geometry","_id":"60299","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication":"CIRP Annals","date_updated":"2025-06-23T08:00:05Z","type":"journal_article","keyword":["Joining","Forming","Property adjustment"],"citation":{"bibtex":"@article{Steinfelder_Acksteiner_Brosius_2025, title={A new joint with versatile properties based on a Reuleaux triangle geometry}, DOI={10.1016/j.cirp.2025.03.002}, journal={CIRP Annals}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Steinfelder, Christian and Acksteiner, Clemens and Brosius, Alexander}, year={2025} }","mla":"Steinfelder, Christian, et al. “A New Joint with Versatile Properties Based on a Reuleaux Triangle Geometry.” CIRP Annals, Elsevier BV, 2025, doi:10.1016/j.cirp.2025.03.002.","ieee":"C.
