Contains the papers presented at the fourth International Seminar "Numerical Analysis of Weldability" held in September 1997 at Schloss Seggau near Graz, Austri

Almost all welding technology depends upon the use of concentrated energy sources to fuse or soften the material locally at the joint, before such energy can be

This book describes and systemizes analytical and numerical solutions for a broad range of instantaneous and continuous, stationary and moving, concentrated and

Despite the wide availability of literature on welding processes, a need exists to regularly update the engineering community on advancements in joining techniq
