Abstract:Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to simulate in the time domain three-dimensional electrical, thermal, mechanical coupled contact problems arising in electric resistance welding (ERW) processes. Design/methodology/approach -A three-dimensional multiphysical numerical model for analyzing contact problems is proposed. Electrical and thermal field equations in bulk domains are discretized with the cell method (CM). Welding resistance at contact interfaces is described locally by synthetic statistic parameter… Show more
