Fatigue Life Analyses of Welded Structures (Electronic book text)

This book deals with practical problems in structural design and service inspection. It explains how to cope with likely future problems relating to fatigue design of welded structures. When correctly understood and applied, models of fatigue behaviour are very useful tools in engineering assessment. Details of how to use calculation tools on an Excel spreadsheet are included to give hands-on experience. These spreadsheets are so detailed that they can be used for realistic industrial cases.
