[ 1 ] - A 3D Numerical Model to Investigate Mechanical, Thermal and Material Flow Characteristics in Friction Stir Welding of Copper Sheets

The objective of this study was to develop a numerical model for the prediction of temperature distribution, effective plastic strain distribution, and especially material flow in friction stir welding of copper plates. The DEFORM-3D software was used by incorporating a lagrangian incremental formulation. Threedimensional results of the material flow pattern which were extracted using the po...
