There’s no doubt…welding plays a crucial role in the manufacture of nearly every product we use! That’s why it’s critical for welding engineers and welding designers to gain a basic knowledge and understanding of the roles each other plays in the welding process. 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.
