TWI Frequently asked questions
The International Institute of Welding (IIW) has published a book on 'Stress Determination for Fatigue Analysis of Welded Components'. This has useful recommendations for computer modelling of welded joints, though the book is not in the form of a procedure (it may leave the analyst with some unanswered questions).
NAFEMS Ltd (Prospect House, Hamilton International Business Park, High Blantyre, Glasgow, G72 0BN, UK; Tel - +44 (0) 1355 225688; www.nafems.org) provide a wide range of literature including benchmark test cases and primer studies on specific topics (e.g. dynamics).
