A numerical methodology for predicting tool wear in Friction Stir Welding (2016)
Journal Article

A novel methodology for predicting tool wear in FSW based on a CFD model, coupled with a modified Archard equation, is presented considering the effect of the deformation of the highly viscous flow around the tool on tool wear. A validation process... Read More about A numerical methodology for predicting tool wear in Friction Stir Welding.

Finite element modelling strategies of weld repair in pre-stressed thin components (2016)
Journal Article

A total of two computational procedures have been developed in the commercial finite element software codes Sysweld and ABAQUS to analyse and predict the residual stress state after the repair of small weld defects in thin structural components. The... Read More about Finite element modelling strategies of weld repair in pre-stressed thin components.

Characterisation of material property variation across an inertia friction welded CrMoV steel component using the inverse analysis of nanoindentation data (2016)
Journal Article

In this study, a new application of the inverse analysis of the depth-sensing indentation technique based on the optimization theory has been satisfactorily demonstrated. The novel approach for determining the mechanical properties from experimental...
