Focusing on polymer joining, this book provides a comprehensive overview of both experimental and numerical strategies to address technical challenges. It covers fundamental concepts of polymers and their joining processes, alongside relevant technologies. A dedicated chapter discusses the application of finite element analysis (FEA) for predicting deformation and temperature distribution during joining. Its extensive coverage makes it a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and practitioners working with polymers.

This book presents the fundamentals of arc phenomena, various arc welding power sources, their control strategies, welding data acquisition, and welding optimization. In addition, it discusses a broad range of electrical concepts in welding, including power source characteristics, associated parameters, arc welding power source classification, control strategies, data acquisitions techniques, as well as optimization methods. It also offers advice on how to minimize the flaws and improve the efficacy and performance of welds, as well as insights into the mechanical behavior expressed in terms of electromagnetic phenomena, which is rarely addressed. The book provides a comprehensive review of interdisciplinary concepts, offering researchers a wide selection of strategies, parameters, and sequences of operations to choose from.
