Perihal e-buku ini

This book presents the use of ABAQUS software in a simplified manner, for use in welding-related issues. Increasing human needs leads to the creation of complicated scientific problems. In the majority of these problems, it is necessary to join different parts and geometries together. Classical methods such as elasticity theory of stress distribution and governing equations of temperature distribution are not appropriate for solving these complicated problems. To overcome these challenges, finite element methods are proposed in order to solve different processes using differential equation. ABAQUS is a user-friendly commercial finite element software for modeling different processes in mechanical, civil, aerospace and other engineering fields. This book contains unified and detailed tutorials for professionals and students who are interested in simulating different welding processes using the ABAQUS finite element software.
