- Additional information
- This work establishes a framework for the optimal design of friction stir welding (FSW), resulting in improved weld quality and a reduction in the cost of production by up to 20% (Dr Ian Norris, Product Manager, The Welding Institute (TWI), ian.norris@twi.co.uk). It is the first work to predict process features in welding and to consider five design objectives simultaneously. The work was conducted in collaboration with TWI. It was funded by EPSRC (EP/E063497/1, PI: Prof WM Rainforth, £871k) and the output directly led to secure subsequent industrial funding from the TWI (two projects, £200k).
