Welding distortion is a particular problem in fabricating thin plate structures such as ships. Based on pioneering research by the authors, \u003ci\u003eControl of Welding Distortion in Thin-Plate Fabrication\u003c\/i\u003e reviews distortion test results from trials and shows how outcomes can be modeled computationally. The book provides readers with an understanding of distortion influences and the means to develop distortion-reducing strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe book is structured as an integrated treatment. It opens by reviewing the development of computational welding mechanics approaches to distortion. Following chapters describe the industrial context of stiffened plate fabrication and further chapters provide overviews of distortion mechanics and the modeling approach. A chapter on full-scale welding trials is followed by three chapters that develop modeling strategies through thermal process and thermo-mechanical simulations, based on finite-element analysis. Simplified models are a particular feature of these chapters. A final sequence of chapters explores the simulation of welding distortion in butt welding of thin plates and fillet welding of stiffened plate structures, and shows how these models can be used to optimize design and fabrication methods to control distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eControl of Welding Distortion in Thin-Plate Fabrication\u003c\/i\u003e is a comprehensive resource for metal fabricators, engineering companies, welders and welding companies, and practicing engineers and academics with an interest in welding mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor contact details\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWoodhead Publishing Series in Welding and Other Joining Technologies\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
