Extensive research conducted over the years on the fatigue behavior of welded structures has brought a greater understanding to the design methods that can be employed to reduce premature or progressive fatigue cracking. By discussing essential design rules, this book highlights the need for a design approach that incorporates an understanding of the fatigue problem and effects of welding. Specific recommendations for the design of welded joints in components or structures are discussed, as is an account of the application of fracture mechanics to fatigue, providing useful information to engineers involved in the design or assessment of welded joints. This latest edition of Fatigue Strength of Welded Structures has been revised to take into account recent advances in technology providing a practical approach with up-to-date design rules.
