A three-dimensional transient model for heat transfer in thermoplastic composites during continuous resistance welding
The resistance welding technique for thermoplastic composites (TPCs) entails melting the TPC polymer at the joint interface using heat generated by resistive (Joule) heating of a conductive mesh or heating element placed between the surfaces to be welded. The continuous resistance welding (CRW) is a...
