Description

This book provides readers with the latest know-how and tools needed to assess the in-service strength and reliability of welded structures. It addresses the two principal mechanisms of structural material deterioration, fatigue and corrosion, which affect the in-service behavior of structures. In this regard, the primary focus is on fatigue in connection with various structural failure scenarios. Realistic and typical examples of welded structures� design and residual life assessment are used throughout the book in order to show readers the complexity of real-world assessments. The book offers a valuable resource for master�s students in mechanical and civil engineering, and for engineers whose work involves fatigue design and in-service inspections of welded structures.Typham this is the title: In-Service Fatigue Reliability of Structures
