Thanks

The presented results were achieved within the research project Overloads and their effect on the structural durability of resistance spot-welded thin sheet structures (A 254). The authors would like to thank the non-profit foundation Steel Application Research in the Association for the Promotion of German Science and Humanities (Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft e. V.) for its financial support and also the research association of the Working Group of the Iron and Metal Processing Industry (Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Eisen und Metall verarbeitenden Industrie e. V., AVIF). We would like to express sincere thanks to Working Group AK 25 of the Research Association for Automotive Engineering (Forschungsvereinigung Automobiltechnik e. V., FAT) in addition to the members of the supervisory group for the research project.
