An Implicit Algorithm Based on Continuous Moving Least Square to Simulate Material Mixing in Friction Stir Welding Process

An implicit iterative algorithm, based on the continuous moving least square (CMLS), is developed to simulate material mixing in Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process. Strong formulation is chosen for the modeling of the mechanical problem in Lagrangian framework to avoid the drawback of numerical int...
