A specialist in technical diagnostics and non-destructive testing, Nedoseka (electric welding, National Academy of Sciences, Kiev, Ukraine) summarizes results in technical diagnostics of structural materials and of organizations guiding and coordinating this work over a comparatively short period between the emergnce of technical diagnostics and the beginning of its development as an independent field. He covers the temperature field in welding, welding stresses and strains, the load-carrying capacity of welded structures, diagnostics and prediction of the residual life of welded structures, acoustic emission techniques for the analysis of welded structures, and numerical technical and tests for welded structures.

Fundamentals of evaluation and diagnostics of welded structures provides an essential guide to the key principles and problems involved in the analysis of welded structures. Chapter one discusses design issues, key equations and calculations, and the effects of varied heat sources in relation to the temperature field in welding. Chapter two goes on to explore welding stresses and strains. Fracture mechanics and the load-carrying capacity of welded structures are the focus of chapter three. Chapter four considers diagnostics and prediction of the residual life of welded structures, whilst acoustic emission techniques for the analysis of welded structures are reviewed in chapter five. Finally, chapter six supplies supplementary information on numerical techniques and other tests for welded structures.
With its distinguished author and detailed coverage, Fundamentals of evaluation and diagnostics of welded structures is an indispensable guide for welding and structural engineers as well as those researching this important topic.
Professor Nedoseka presents an essential guide to the key principles and problems involved in the analysis of welded structures. In the introductory chapter, he discusses design issues, key equations and calculations, and the effects of varied heat sources in relation to the temperature field in welding. Subsequent chapters explore welding stresses and strains and fracture mechanics, the load carrying capacity of welded structures, diagnostics and prediction of the residual life of welded structures and acoustic emission techniques for the analysis of welded structures. The conclusion supplies supplementary information on numerical techniques and other tests for welded structures.
