abstract = "A rotating multi-axial wireless force sensor was developed for use in Friction Stir Welding (FSW). A special emphasis was placed on developing a system that was both low-cost and robust in terms of handling the loads and thermal environment of FSW. The system was designed and built in-house at Vanderbilt University and was shown to be lower in cost than most commercially available multi-axial load cells that could be utilized in FSW. Torque (M z) measurement was demonstrated in the first stage of development and the capabilities are currently being expanded to measure the traversing (F x) and side (Fy) forces in FSW.",
