Synopsis

This book is an illustrated guide to the design of welded steel fabrications for the practising designer and the student of engineering. It encompasses the static and fatigue strength of welded joints, the selection of steel grades from the point of view of service and manufacturing requirements, the design of components and structures, and the influence of fabrication methods and procedures on design. A brief review of welding processes and inspection is included. This new edition includes new sections on designing, testing and recording welding procedures, quality management and inspection and non-destructive examination. Reference to standards (UK, American and international) have been updated.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is a highly illustrated guide to the design and performance of welded joints  - principally in steel. It encompasses the static and fatigue strength of welded joints, the selection of steel grades from the point of view of service and manufacturing requirements, the design of components and structures, and the influence of fabrication methods and procedures on design. A brief overview of welding processes and inspection techniques is included. The revised second edition reflects changes in attitudes to material properties and quality management which originated mainly in the offshore industry and have now permeated other fields of engineering. This edition includes new sections on brittle fracture (including descriptions of fracture mechanics tests and their significance to the designer), and on fatigue and the performance of joints under tubular structures. A completely new chapter on quality assurance has been added, and the references to standards (UK, American and international) have been updated. This book has mainly been written mainly for practicing engineers and draughtsmen, but it will also be of value to students of civil and mechanical engineering as a link between the theory and practice of design.
