Challenges to be tackled in the computational modeling and numerical simulation of FSW processes

== Abstract ==

The computational modeling and numerical simulation of Friction Stir Welding (FSW) processes is an extremely challenging task due to the highly nonlinear and coupled nature of the physical problem and the complex computational issues that need to be properly tackled in the numerical model.
