finite difference method to O(Tx 4). According to the calculated temperature distribution in the work pieces, 
during the ultrasonic welding process, the proposed method illustrated that not only its precision is greatly 
enhanced, but also its concept is very similar to that of the finite difference method. Based on analysis 
results, it was concluded that the simple and high-accuracy hybrid spline difference method has a strong

 Table 1 shows a comparison of numerical 
errors obtained for three methods i.e. the proposed 
method, the parametric spline and the FDM. 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. Distribution of the calculated temperature

 It is observed that the temperature is
