Course abstract

The welding process involves complex interaction of several mechanisms. The fundamental understanding relied on basic mechanisms such as heat transfer and/or fluid flow, and associated distortion and residual stress generation including the effect of metallurgical transformation for a welding process is the focus of this course. It helps to develop the numerical model, and makes the foundation for analysis and experimentation for the process. The development of computational models for welding process relies on mathematical expression of the governing mechanism. It helps to design relevant experiments and drives to find the data to be obtained.
