The friction stir welding (FSW) has become an important welding technique to join materials that are difficult to weld by traditional fusion welding technology.

The ability to quantify residual stresses induced by welding processes through experimentation or numerical simulation has become, today more than ever, of stra

This book describes the fundamentals of residual stresses in friction stir welding and reviews the data reported for various materials. Residual stresses produc
