The failure of any welded joint is at best inconvenient and at worst can lead to catastrophic accidents. Fracture and fatigue of welded joints and structures analyses the processes and causes of fracture and fatigue, focusing on how the failure of welded joints and structures can be predicted and minimised in the design process. Part one concentrates on analysing fracture of welded joints and structures, with chapters on constraint-based fracture mechanics for predicting joint failure, fracture assessment methods and the use of fracture mechanics in the fatigue analysis of welded joints. In part two, the emphasis shifts to fatigue, and chapters focus on a variety of aspects of fatigue analysis including assessment of local stresses in welded joints, fatigue design rules for welded structures, k-nodes for offshore structures and modelling residual stresses in predicting the service life of structures. With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Fracture and fatigue of welded joints and structures is an essential reference for mechanical, structural and welding engineers, as well as those in the academic sector with a research interest in the field.

Historians of the various tools trades have long wanted a work specifically on saws and this, the first, is an attempt to match the detail and scholarship of the best that cover planes, cutlery, spanners and measuring tools. The author is a frequent writer and lecturer on saws and the history of their manufacture, and is able to base his work on 15 years of original research and the building of a personal collection of saws - probably the largest in the world - which is housed with the renowned Ken Hawley Collection in Sheffield's Kelham Island Industrial Museum. Together, these collections form a unique research base and visitor attraction. This scholarly book is illustrated with almost 2000 photographs, the majority by the author, and with its listings of saw makers and dealers forms the most comprehensive directory to date of British names in the tool trades.

This book will summarize research work carried out so far on dissimilar metallic material welding using friction stir welding (FSW).

Contains the papers presented at the third international meeting on the 'numerical analysis of weldability' organised by the International Institute of Welding and the Department of Materials Science and Welding at Graz University of Technology. The evolution in weld microstructure has been modelled using cellular automata, which enable non-trivial processes and patterns to be computed starting with simple deterministic rules. One paper describes a model which incorporates the effect of deformation on precipitation kinetics in the HAZ during welding of cold-worked aluminium. For the first time there is a detailed article on the precipitation of oxides from the liquid weld pool.

A multivariate study of approximately 1,500 ground stone tools (celts) from the Coast Salishan cultural area of British Columbia, Canada, forms the basis of this book. The traditional and often unthinking quest to find types within this largely unclassified class of material formed the starting point to the author's work. When statistical methods failed to discriminate betweenn typological groups, Mackie was forced to think more creatively about the behavioural environment of their use., especially how use-life would alter shape. This book is therefore both a study of stone tools and an exploration into archaeological systematics which problematises the manic classificatory zeal which is such a peculiar feature of most archaeologists.

Dieses Buch ist der erste Teil einer auf zwei Bande angelegten Monographie, die in der Absicht entstand, den Fachleuten, die in der Forschung oder Industrie auf den Gebie- ten der Werkstoffoberflachen und der diinnen Schichten tatig sind, sowie den Studie- renden eine EinfUhrung in die Grundlagen und eine Ubersicht iiber die vieifaltigen Anwendungen und Verfahren der Oberflachen- und Diinnschichttechnologie zu ge- ben. Diese Arbeit beruht auf einer langjahrigen Tatigkeit des Verfassers auf dies em Gebiet sowohl in der Industrie als auch an der Hochschule. In ihrem praktischen Einsatz haben technische Oberflachen und diinne Schichten eine Vielzahl von Funktionen zu erftillen. Um nur einige Beispiele zu nennen: in der Optik als reflexionsmindemde, reflexionserhohende oder absorbierende Schichten; in der Elektrotechnik als Kontakte, Widerstande und Kondensatoren; in der Mikroelek- tronik als Metallisierungs-und Passivierungsschichten fUr hochintegrierte Schaltkreise und Halbleiter-Bauelemente; femer beim Aufbau von Systemen der integrierten Op- tik, der Optoelektronik, der Kryoelektronik, der Energietechnik und der biomedizini- schen Technik. In der chemischen Verfahrenstechnik und im Maschinenbau werden funktionelle diinne Schichten als Schutz gegen VerschleiB, Korrosion und Hochtem- peraturoxidation, aber auch als reibungsarme Schichten, Katalysatorschichten und de- korative Schichten verwendet. Die volkswirtschaftliche Bedeutung der Oberflachen-und Diinnschicht-Technologie ist in den Industrielandem in den letzten J ahren aus folgenden Grunden erheblich ge- stiegen: - Viele Hochtechnologie-Anwendungen, an denen mikroelektronische, optische, op- toelektronische, magnetische oder kryoelektronische Bauelemente beteiligt sind, wur- den durch die vielfach einzigartigen physikalischen und chemischen Eigenschaften diinner Schichten iiberhaupt erst moglich.

Das vorliegende Buch erscheint als Ersatz fur die beiden Werke des Verlages uber Kolbenverdichter von F. Froehlich sowie von Ch. Bouche und K. Wintterlin, die als Ziel hatten, das erforderliche Wissen fur die Auslegung, die Konstruktion und Be- trieb dieser Maschinen zu vermitteln. Dabei galt der, Froehlich' als internationales Standardwerk und der, Bouche' als leicht fassliche Einfuhrung fur Studenten. Bei- de aber zeigen schon das vielseitige Wissen aus der Thermodynamik, der Mecha- nik, der Festigkeitslehre, der Maschinenelemente, der Regelungs- und der Ferti- gungstechnik, welche die Beherrschung der Kompressoren erfordert. Seit dem Erscheinen dieser Werke wurden die oben erwahnten Wissenschaften starker strukturiert, neuere Betrachtungsweisen eingefuhrt, die Rechenverfahren verfeinert und die Herstellungsmethoden vervollkommnet. Dies ermoeglichte der Siegeszug der Computer, die immer groessere Datenmengen verarbeiten und daher immer kompliziertere Arbeitsmethoden zulassen. So entstanden umfangreiche Programme fur die finiten Elemente in der Mechanik, fur CAD und CAM fur die Konstruktion und die Fertigung sowie spezielle Firmenprogramme fur die Ausle- gung. Damit erfolgte die Auswertung immer schneller und exakter, aber auch das Er- kennen innerer Zusammenhange und die Beurteilung der Brauqhbarkeit der Ergeb- nisse wurde fur unerfahrene jungere Ingenieure und Studenten immer schwieriger. Um diesem Mangel zu begegnen, enthalt dieses Buch viele Zahlen- und Konstruk- tionsbeispiele, die Berechnung und Entwurf vereinfacht zeigen. Sie sollen helfen, spater die Computerresultate richtig zu deuten. Hierzu dient auch die weitreichen- de Diskussion der technischen und physikalischen Probleme und die eingehende Beschreibung des Betriebs der Maschinen. Auf die hier nicht behandelten Proble- me verweist ein ausfuhrliches Schrifttumverzeichnis.
