Joining by mechanical fasteners, integral designed-or formed-in features, adhesives, welding, brazing, soldering, thermal spraying, and hybrid processes are addressed as processes and technologies, as are issues associated with the joining of metals, ceramics (including cement and concrete) glass, plastics, and composites (including wood), as well as, for the first time anywhere, living tissue. While focused on materials issues, issues related to joint design, production processing, quality assurance, process economics, and joint performance in service are not ignored. The book is written for engineers, from an in-training student to a seasoned practitioner by an engineer who chose to teach after years of practice. By reading and referring to this book, the solutions to joining problems will be within one’s grasp.Key Features:·\tUnprecedented coverage of all joining options (from lashings to lasers) in 10 chapters·\tUniquely complete coverage of all materials, including living tissues, in 6 chapters·\tRichly illustrated with 76 photographs and 233 illustrations or plots·\tPractice Questions and Problems for use as a text of for reviewing to aid for comprehension\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction to Joining: A Process and a Technology\u003cbr\u003e Mechanical Joining\u003cbr\u003e Mechanical Fasteners, Integral Attachments, \u0026amp; Other Mechanical Joining Methods\u003cbr\u003e Adhesive Bonding \u0026amp; Cementing\u003cbr\u003e Adhesives, Cements, Mortars, and the Bonding Process\u003cbr\u003e Welding as a Joining Process\u003cbr\u003e The Basics of Welding Metallurgy\u003cbr\u003e Brazing: A Subclassification of Welding\u003cbr\u003e Soldering: A Subset of Brazing\u003cbr\u003e Other Joining Processes: Variants \u0026amp; Hybrids\u003cbr\u003e Joining Metals, Alloys, and Internetallics\u003cbr\u003e Joining of Ceramics and Glasses\u003cbr\u003e Joining of Polmeric Materials\u003cbr\u003e Joining Composite Materials and Structures\u003cbr\u003e Joining Dissimilar Material Combinations\u003cbr\u003e Joining Structures and Living Tissue.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Materials science [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Materials science\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Materials%20science%20%5BTGM%5D%22\"\u003eTGM\u003c\/a\u003e], Metals technology \/ metallurgy [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Metals technology \/ metallurgy\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Metals%20technology%20\/%20metallurgy%20%5BTDM%5D%22\"\u003eTDM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Freshly Printed Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46651560165656,"sku":"9780750677578","price":97.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780750677578.jpg?v=1694113837","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/joining-of-materials-and-structures-from-pragmatic-process-to-enabling-technology-hardback-9780750677578","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
