Introduction addition, almost previous analyses of heat and mass Ultrasonic welding (USW) is a process for transfer used the FDM because of its simple concept joining similar and dissimilar material samples and easy operation; however, the FDM’s solutions in various industries. Heat generated at welding rarely have high accuracy. On the contrary, with interface during the welding process is due to characteristics of smoothness and continuity, the plastic deformation and friction from a motion spline method has higher numerical precision than between two contacting work pieces’ surface [1]. that of FDM; thus, numerical solution of spline [11- The heat generation plays an important role in 14] has been widely applied. However, the spline welding process, generally, because it significantly method has a complicated calculation procedure influences on temperature distribution in the weld and an unsolved problem of determination of the parts. optimal parameters. Therefore, in recent years Several researchers have studied temperature Wang et al. [15-18] constructed a simple procedure distributions at the interface and in the work pieces of solving the spline difference in a discretization as well as in the horn (sonotrode). The temperature approach similar to finite difference. was predicted by using ANSYS finite element This study develops the skill of hybrid spline models [2-4]. Thermal conductivity and specific that makes the first order and second order numerical heat in these researches were considered as constant, differential accuracies reach O(∆x)4 at the same it means the governing heat transfer equations were time. The nonlinear equation of welding problem in established are only linear equation. ultrasonic welding is analyzed to validate a simple Actually, many numerical methods have been and high-accuracy characteristic of proposed hybrid proposed for solving heat transfer problems.

It can be clearly seen from Table 1 that the results obtained by HSDM have far higher numerical precision than those obtained by other methods. In addition, the speed of decreasing error of the HSDM shown to decrease significantly faster with increasing the grids number than that of the FDM and parametric spline methods. Additionally, numerical error and computing time comparison of the HSDM and FDM are shown in Table 2. Fig.1.

Figures 2 and 3 show the numerical solutions obtained by different methods with grid number 60 30 300 150 NNij##= and NNij##= , respectively.

Conclusions The proposed method could successfully solve a nonlinear equation of welding problem in ultrasonic welding and proved that the HSDM can simplify complicate calculation procedure of traditional spline theory. Interestingly, its discretization instruction is very similar to the FDM; however, its accuracy is significantly enhanced. The temperature distribution in the work pieces, found by applying current method, well agrees with the “exact analytic” solution. Accordingly, not only the HSDM, proposed in this article, is a simple and potential numerical method for solving non-linear Fig.2.
