Spot welding has been used in the sheet metal joining processes because of its high productivity and convenience. In this study, predicting methods of fatigue life of spot welded joint have been studied fatigue life of conch-peel spot welded joint was influenced by tail effect. Fatigue life was estimated by stress index parameter considering multiaxial stresses and tail effect. Fatigue tests were conducted with the coach-peel specimens using SPCC.

The objective of this study is to kinematically analyze forehand & backhand strokes of abscission handicap wheelchair table tennis athletes. The participant of this study were picked out of national athletes who have abscission handicap. Forehand stroke movement was expected to show a throw like motion. However, external rotation and internal rotation of the right arm created a backswing and an impact. Backhand stroke was expected to show a push like motion, and as expected, proximal part of the body didn't participate in the stroke motion, but the distal part, the right arm, rotated internally to backswing and external rotated to impact to form a push like motion. Forehand swing was expected to show throw like motion according to the Link Segmental System principle. However, abscission handicap athlete didn't show clear linking structure connecting proximal and distal parts. Successful strokes were dependant only on the angle of arm rotation.
