A literature survey on modelling of the resistance spot welding process has been carried out and some of the more interesting models on this subject have been reviewed in this work. The underlying physics has been studied and a brief explanation of Heat transfer, electrokinetics and metallurgy in a resistance spot welding context have been presented.\nl\hsLastly a state of the art model and a simplified model, with implementation in the FEM software LS-DYNA in mind, have been presented.
