This manual is dived into three sections. The first is a general introduction to the subject of weldesign, its mathematics and the general approach to use it efficiently. The second section contains the fundamental theories and formulas needed to apply weldesign with problems to illustrate their application. The third section contains actual designs, worked out using the information in the second section, for all of the major components found in typical machines and products.

Summary: Excellent Practical Guide for Engineers
Rating: 5

This book provides excellent practical guides on how to design welded structures, torsion boxes, sheaves, columns, beams, etc. Example calculations are given with plenty of illustrations and diagrams. It is a fantastic design tool for any Mechanical Engineer in the field of structural design.

Summary: An Essential Reference
Rating: 5

This book covers the design of welded “things” other that buildings and structures. The emphasis is on machine tools, and the replacement of castings with lighter, stronger, cheaper arc welded fabrications. There are plenty of design rules, guides and graphs usable without calculus by designers, draftsmen, and mechanics – you do not have to be P.H.D. to use this clear, well written text.

Summary: excellent book for design of weldments
Rating: 5

I have not come across any book which covers in detail weldments.All aspects of weld related loading and stresses are covered.
