Strains and strain rates during friction stir welding

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the computed strains and strain rates during friction stir welding (FSW) of AA2524 from a three-dimensional coupled viscoplastic flow and heat transfer model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Numerical studies on controlling of process parameters in friction stir welding

TL;DR: In this paper, a thermo-mechanical model is developed to predict the material deformations and temperature histories in the friction stir welding (FSW) process, and the effects of the welding parameters on temperatures and material behaviors are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

3D modeling of material flow in friction stir welding under different process parameters

TL;DR: In this paper, material flow in friction stir welding (FSW) under different process parameters is simulated by using the finite element technique based on the nonlinear continuum mechanics, and it seems that there is a quasi-linear relation between the change of the axial load on the shoulder and the variation of the equivalent plastic strain.
Journal ArticleDOI

The finite element simulation of the friction stir welding process

TL;DR: In this paper, the residual stresses of the welded plate are investigated using tracer particles and the distribution of the longitudinal residual stress along the direction perpendicular to the welding line is a double feature curve.
Journal ArticleDOI

A fully coupled thermo-mechanical model of friction stir welding

TL;DR: In this paper, a fully coupled thermo-mechanical model of the friction stir welding process is presented, which shows that the rotation of the shoulder can accelerate the material flow behavior near the top surface.
