4. Glossary
ALE technique; Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian technique
Calculation technique enabling a finite element mesh to have a kinematics different from that of the material medium being modeled.
Onion rings
Name given to the elongated, concentric band-like morphology of the microstructure located in the core of a joint welded by Friction Stir Welding.
zone affectée thermiquement ZAT; heat affected zone HAZ
Name given to the zone close to a welded joint in which microstructural changes induced by local heating may have occurred. Mechanical deformations are very low.
zone affectée thermomécaniquement ZATM; thermomechanically affected zone TMAZ
Name given to the zone between the core and the ZAT of a joint welded by Friction...
