Numerical simulation of friction welding processes: An arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian approach by Hamed, Maien Mohamed Osman

“…A finite strain associative coupled thermoplasticity model is used, which is suited for the large deformations characteristic of friction welding processes, and which resolves the viscoplastic deformations in the thermomechanically affected zone as well as the elastic stresses in the parent material. …”

Aspects of the composition and origin of achondrites and mesosiderites by Simpson, Alexander Bruce

“…University of Cape Town - xxi - A comprehensive study of inter-element relationships, particularly of those involving refractory elements, was carried out to establish the relations between the three main achondrite classes and between th~ basaltic achondrites and the silicate fractions of mesosiderites for the purpose of gaining information on the possible modes of origin of these meteorites. Additional evidence on the genesis_ of the eucrites was obtained from mathematical modelling. …”
