The Automotive Industry

by Gyoujin Cho

Published 18 January 2000
Research reports carried out by TWI staff for their industrial members.

The proceedings of a seminar held at TWI in September, 1995, focusing on crack arrest philosophy which aknowledges that a brittle crack is arrested when it emerges from the critical region. Papers from prestigious researchers presented a critique and assessment of the theory and its application under: Introduction to crack arrest concepts; Recent trends in crack arrest research; Application of crack arrest concepts.

Computer Technology in Welding

by Gyoujin Cho

Published 25 September 1998
While computer systems have traditionally been used in welding engineering for modelling, equipment control, manufacturing support and production monitoring they are now becoming essential tools for information handling, quality control and education and training.

The papers presented at this conference reflect the significant advances that have been made in emerging technologies, expert systems, neural networks and multimedia. The application of the innovative control systems and software presented here will enable companies to maintain a competitive edge by improving information control and product value while at the same time reducing manufacturing and production costs.

The book is of value to both established and prospective users of computers in the welding industry and to all needing to keep in touch with the latest advances in computer technology.
