Abstract: A unified viscoplastic constitutive equation is combined with Bernoulli/Euler beam equations to create a model of autoclave age forming of beam specimens. Predictions based on the model are ...

Abstract: A quasisteady approach to friction stir welding (FSW) heat transfer modeling is proposed and implemented using FLUENT . An idealized model of the mechanical dissipation heating in FSW is employed. ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional heat transfer problem pertaining to friction stir welding is developed by converting various pin tool configurations of interest to a simplified pin only configuration by assigning ...
