Finite element modeling of friction stir welding (FSW) on a complex curved plate

For decades, Friction Stir Welding (FSW) has been used to decrease the weight of structures. During this time the application of the curved surfaces has been extensively increasing in numerous applications like FSW, 5 axis milling computer numerical controlled (CNC) machines, and elsewhere. However,...
