Written by a welding design specialist with 35 years of experience, Welded Joint Design provides a clear and concise explanation of how welded joints and structures are designed and the constraints welding may impose on the design. Thoroughly illustrated, this new edition includes descriptions of the mechanical properties of steel and other structural materials. It will be tremendously valuable to both students and practicing engineers in welding and design, as well as to civil, structural, mechanical and plant engineers who need to learn more about the design of welded products. UNIQUE FEATURES * Explores methods of stress calculation. * Briefly reviews various structural design philosophies and their influence on the choice of welding processes and procedures. * Includes the particular features of arc-welded joints and their effect on fatigue and fracture behavior. * Explains practical constraints on joint design and configuration in context of joint preparation and access.
