A Comparison of Different Finite Element Methods in the Thermal Analysis of Friction Stir Welding (FSW)

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a novel kind of welding for joining metals that are impossible or difficult to weld by conventional methods. Three-dimensional nature of FSW makes the experimental investigation more complex. Moreover, experimental observations are often costly and time consuming, and...
