Description
Summary:The submitted paper deals with the simulation of thermal cycles during laser welding of aluminum sheets using Finite Element Method (FEM). After the design and creation of the simulation model, the simulation results were verified by the thermal cycles measured during the experiment on real samples. Verification has shown that, despite the differences that have resulted from some simplifications, the proposed model corresponds to the actual behavior of the material used during the laser welding process.
