Develop a comprehensive finite element–based three-dimensional (3D) heat transfer model, to predict transient temperature distribution, if the materials were welded by FSW Process. The model should consider temperature-dependent material properties.

A dedicated heat source model using sliding and sticking conditions of friction will be incorporated through the user subroutine of commercially available software ABAQUS.

The similar type of work is done in " Heat transfer analyses in friction stir welding of aluminum alloy" Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part B Journal of Engineering Manufacture 229(10)

I know that there are some works on this case by Flow3D. They were able to show the mixing of materials.

This paper may help you: Article A study on transient flow characteristic in friction stir we...

In order to simulate models in which there is a contact between a lagrangian and an eulerian part, ABAQUS may be your best choice.

Dear M.IM Ragab,

I think best is ANSYS package. ANSYS using SOLID 70 elements could be useful. A View of temperature maps, welding temperature as a function of welding time can be easily analyzed using ANSYS model.

thank you all, i started to use ABAQUS but i cant understand the coupled eulerian lagrangian method. Can you help me to Know how it be done by ABAQUS? Balendra Vir Singh Chauhan Tohid Jahangirpoor

Dear Ragab,

I am very sorry. Right now its high time busy for many assignments. Just flying. after 10-15 days....Sorry.

Ashish

I preferred you use Ansys software.

You can use Deform 3d software.because that easier than abaqus or ansys.
