RESUMO

Although numerical models of heat transfer and material flow have contributed to understand the underlying mechanisms of friction stir welding (FSW), there are certain input model parameters that can not be easily determined. Thus, the model predictions do not always agree with experimental results. In this work, sensitivity analysis and parameter estimation were applied to test heat transfer and material flow models. A forward-difference approximation was used to compute the sensitivity of the solution with respect to the unknown model parameters. The Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) method was applied to solve the nonlinear parameter estimation problem. The numerical models were developed by the finite element method (FEM). The way in which the unknown model parameters independently affect the results and the importance of the location of reference points that take part in the objective function were determined.
