Abstract Friction stir welding (FSW) is a promising
joining technology that is quickly becoming the preferred
joining process for a wide range of applications.
Because of
their high static values, the process forces occurring during
FSW still are a major factor concerning the development or
the choice of friction stir welding machines.
However, until
now, the vast majority of research projects only consider
the static force components or the maximum loads that
occur during a given welding operation.
But, like during
turning or milling, the tool does generate oscillating process forces that induce vibrations into the machine structure and should not be neglected.
Thus, the key aspect of
this work is the comprehensive charac
