Press Release Summary = Local approaches to fatigue assessment are used to predict
the structural durability of welded joints, to optimise their design and to evaluate
unforeseen joint failures. This standard work provides a systematic survey of the
principles and practical applications of the various methods.

Press Release Body = Fatigue assessment of welded joints by local approaches (Second
edition)- completely reworked second edition of a standard work providing a
systematic survey of the principles and practical applications of the various
methods
- covers the hot spot structural stress approach to fatigue in general, the notch
stress and notch strain approach to crack initiation and the fracture mechanics
approach to crack propagation.
- written by a distinguished team of authors
- a standard reference for designers, structural analysts and testing engineers
Local approaches to fatigue assessment are used to predict the structural durability
of welded joints, to optimise their design and to evaluate unforeseen joint
failures. This standard work provides a systematic survey of the principles and
practical applications of the various methods. It covers the hot spot structural
stress approach to fatigue in general, the notch stress and notch strain approach to
crack initiation and the fracture mechanics approach to crack propagation.
Seam-welded and spot-welded joints in structural steels and aluminium alloys are
also considered.
This completely reworked second edition takes into account the tremendous progress
in understanding and applying local approaches which has been achieved in the last
decade. It will be a standard reference for designers, structural analysts and
testing engineers who are responsible for the fatigue-resistant in-service behaviour
of welded structures.
