Abstract

Spot welds are used extensively in the automotive industry to join panels, and car bodies contain many thousands of spot welds. Different finite elements method of spot welds have been created for various types of analysis. When structures with many spot welds are analysed, these detailed models have too many degrees of freedom to be used in practice. Simple models that use few elements must be instead. This work presents the FEA simulation of the RSW process. A 2D axisymmetric FEM model has developed to analyse the transient thermal behaviours of process using ANSYS software.
