Laser welding is a highly localized heat input process in which a moving heat source induces steep thermal gradients. These gradients lead to thermal expansion and contraction generating residual stresses. They may also cause material softening or phase changes in the heat-affected zone. From a modelling perspective, laser welding process is a sequentially coupled problem … Continue reading Thermo-structural Simulation: An Example of Laser Welding Process

About me and the website
Welcome to this website. My name is Xutao Sun, and I am currently a Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Waikato, New Zealand. My research focuses on vibration-based Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), with broader interests in mechanical and structural engineering, the finite element method (FEM), and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This website serves … Continue reading About me and the website
