<strong>ALJOIN</strong> 6. COMPARISON OF INITIALLY PLANNED ACTIVITIES AND WORK ACTUALLY<br />
ACCOMPLISHED<br />
The work has been carried out according to the original Work Programme.<br />
The table below summarises the status of each project task with respect to the<br />
planned progress.<br />

WP 6: Exploitation<br />
Products and<br />
Standards<br />
WP 7: Method for<br />
Assessing<br />
Crashworthiness<br />
WP 8:<br />
Demonstrators<br />
Performance criteria for critical aluminium joints in<br />
railway vehicles have been defined.<br />
No deviation from the planning.<br />
An extensive testing activity has been carried out on<br />
different materials.<br />
An extension of this WP was required to perform tests<br />
originally not planned.<br />
Material failure models suitable for the simulation of the<br />
aluminium extrusions and the <strong>ALJOIN</strong> materials have<br />
been analysed.<br />
Numerical results on simple joints have been carried<br />
out using such material models.<br />
No deviation from the planning.<br />
Numerical analysis of bolted structures, Crack Tip<br />
Opening Angle (CTOA) tearing tests, numerical<br />
analysis of “cleavage” test, tearing tests of bolted joints.<br />
No deviation from the planning.<br />
New Joining techniques and Joints have been<br />
analysed, comprising Hybrid laser-arc process,<br />
adhesive bonded joints, and friction stir joints.<br />
No deviation from the planning.<br />
The innovations produced within <strong>ALJOIN</strong>, in particular<br />
concerning the new joining techniques, have been<br />
already used by Bombardier in their production.<br />
Comments to the main standards relevant to <strong>ALJOIN</strong><br />
have been issued.<br />
No deviation from the planning.<br />
Test planning completed for the tests to be developed<br />
on small specimens and full-scale components.<br />
No deviation from the planning.<br />
A prototype dynamic cleavage demonstrator<br />
component test methodology has been developed and<br />
