An integrated multiphysics model for friction stir welding of 6061 Aluminum alloy

This article presents a new, combined ‘integrated’- ‘multiphysics’ model of friction stir welding (FSW) where a set of governing equations from non-Newtonian incompressible fluid dynamics, conductive and convective heat transfer, and plain stress solid mechanics have been coupled for calculating the...
