Books in the IIW Collection series

This book provides a basis for the design and analysis of welded components that are subjected to fluctuating forces, to avoid failure by fatigue.

This book presents guidelines on quantitative and qualitative measures of the geometric features and imperfections of welds to ensure that it meets the fatigue strength requirements laid out in the recommendations of the IIW (International Institute of Welding).

Moreover, the book presents procedures for the fatigue life assessment of HFMI-improved welded joints based on nominal stress, structural hot spot stress and effective notch stress.

This book provides best-practice guidance and practical recommendations on the use of numerical simulation for probability of detection (POD) curve estimation in the study of non-destructive testing reliability.

This book provides background and guidance on the use of the structural hot-spot stress approach to fatigue analysis.
