Simulation of texture evolution
• Pan et al. (2013) considered each SPH particle to represent a polycrystalline
representative volume element (RVE), and we assume a weak coupling between the SPH
simulations and crystal plasticity modeling.
• Particle velocities obtained from the SPH solution at each time step are used to calculate
the plastic velocity gradient for the polycrystalline deformation behavior. Texture
evolution is then computed using crystal plasticity modeling

Literature
Ansari et al. (2019) studied the plunging phase friction stir welding of Al 6082 alloy using
SPH modeling with different rotational speed and plunging phase and studied the stress
and strain distribution near tool pin
The force and tarque from simulation were compared with experimental and the results
were in close agreement.
They studied the effect of tool rotational speed on the force field, stress, and equivalent
plastic strain at different tool depth in the plunging stage.
Increasing the plunge depth, the stress, strain, and force field is increased.
Furthermore, increasing rotational speed from 600 to 1200 rpm, stress, and equivalent
plastic strain increased by about 3% and 19%, respectively, while the force decreased by
22%.
Xiao et al. (2016) studied the heat transfer during friction stir welding using a
modified SPH model
heat source model based on sticking friction is implemented to describe the heat
generation of FSW
