aiCAMstir: Artificial Intelligence based Computer Aided Manufacturing of Friction Stir Welds

Computional Fluid Dynamics will be used for optimising the tool design of aiCAMstir tools for lap welding[1]

It is difficult to choose and optimise the friction stir welding tool design and welding parameters for lap welding, as shown by many publications.[2]

Thus, the objective is to add a new aiCAMstir computer aided manufacturing control system to FSW machines, which recommends (or even automatically optimises) parameters based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA), design of experiments (DOE), Wikipedia-like open source cloud data and artificial intelligence (AI) including machine learning.
