FATIGUE, FRACTURE AND FAILURE

IIW recommendations on methods for improving the fatigue strength of welded jointsIIW-2142-110P J Haagensen, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway and S J Maddox, TWI, UK

The weld toe is a primary source of fatigue cracking because of the severity of the stress concentration it produces. Weld toe improvement can increase the fatigue strength of new structures significantly. It can also be used to repair or upgrade existing structures. However, in practice there have been wide variations in the actual improvements in fatigue strength achieved. Based on an extensive testing programme organised by the IIW, this report reviews the main methods for weld toe improvement to increase fatigue strength: burr grinding, TIG dressing and hammer and needle peening. The report provides specifications for the practical use of each method, including equipment, weld preparation and operation. It also offers guidance on inspection, quality control and training as well as assessments of fatigue strength and thickness effects possible with each technique. IIW recommendations on methods for improving the fatigue strength of welded joints will allow a more consistent use of these methods and more predictable increases in fatigue strength.

Advances in friction-stir welding and processingM-K Besharati-Givi and P Asadi, University of Tehran, Iran

Friction-stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process primarily used on aluminium, and is also widely used for joining dissimilar metals such as aluminium, magnesium, copper and ferrous alloys. Recently, a friction-stir processing (FSP) technique based on FSW has been used for microstructural modifications, the homogenized and refined microstructure along with the reduced porosity resulting in improved mechanical properties. Advances in friction-stir welding and processing deals with the processes involved in different metals and polymers, including their microstructural and mechanical properties, wear and corrosion behaviour, heat flow, and simulation. The book is structured into ten chapters, covering applications of the technology; tool and welding design; material and heat flow; microstructural evolution; mechanical properties; corrosion behaviour and wear properties. Later chapters cover mechanical alloying and FSP as a welding and casting repair technique; optimization and simulation of artificial neural networks; and FSW and FSP of polymers.

Bioprocess engineeringAn introductory engineering and life science approachK G Clarke, University of Stellenbosch, South Africa

Woodhead Publishing Series in Biomedicine No. 54Biotechnology is an expansive field incorporating expertise in both the life science and engineering disciplines. In biotechnology, the scientist is concerned with developing the most favourable biocatalysts, while the engineer is directed towards process performance, defining conditions and strategies that will maximize the production potential of the biocatalyst. Increasingly, the synergistic effect of the contributions of engineering and life sciences is recognised as key to the translation of new bioproducts from the laboratory bench to commercial bioprocess. Fundamental to the successful realization of the bioprocess is a need for process engineers and life scientists competent in evaluating biological systems from a cross-disciplinary viewpoint. Bioprocess engineering aims to generate core competencies through an understanding of the complementary biotechnology disciplines and their interdependence, and an appreciation of the challenges associated with the application of engineering principles in a life science context. Initial chapters focus on the microbiology, biochemistry and molecular biology that underpin biocatalyst potential for product accumulation. The following chapters develop kinetic and mass transfer principles that quantify optimum process performance and scale up. The text is wide in scope, relating to bioprocesses using bacterial, fungal and enzymic biocatalysts, resting and active cells, batch, fed-batch and continuous strategies and free and immobilised configurations.

Orphan drugsUnderstanding the rare disease market and its dynamicsE Hernberg-Stahl, Late Phase Solutions Europe AB, Sweden

Woodhead Publishing Series in Biomedicine No. 46This authoritative and comprehensive book makes the reader familiar with the processes of bringing orphan drugs to the global market. There are between 5,000 and 7,000 rare diseases and the number of patients suffering from them is estimated to be more than 50 million in the US and Europe. Before the orphan drug legislation enacted in the US in 1983, there was a limited interest from industry to develop treatment for very small patient groups. One of the difficulties is, of course, that similar levels of investment are needed from a pharmaceutical company to bring a drug to the market for both small and large patient groups.

CONTENTSWhat is an orphan drug? Orphan drug legislation; Patient network and advocacy groups; Organizations and networks dedicated and contributing to the dissemination of knowledge about rare diseases and orphan drugs; US Congress/ EU Commission initiated collaborative activities; Designing robust clinical trials for orphan drugs.

Yunnan-A chinese bridgehead to AsiaA case study of China’s political and economic relations with its neighboursT Summers, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Chandos Asian Studies Series No. 50The Chinese province of Yunnan has been undergoing a dynamic process of repositioning, from a Southwestern periphery of the PRC (People’s Republic of China) to a ‘bridgehead’ between China and its neighbours in Southeast and South Asia. This repositioning has found expression in ideas about the province’s geopolitical positioning; policy frameworks; involvement in transborder institutions; infrastructure development; and commerce. Yunnan-A Chinese Bridgehead to Asia traces this process and its implications, demonstrating the extent of provincial agency in global interactions in reform-era China, and the growing global importance of ‘south-south’ economic and commercial interactions.

Vertical specialization and trade surplus in ChinaW Wei, Tianjin University of Commerce, China

Chandos Asian Studies Series No. 48The traditional flow of goods from primary production through to manufacturing and consumption has expanded across international borders conterminously with globalization. Vertical specialization (VS) in processing and manufacturing in China has driven export growth. In particular, intra-industry and intra-product trade between China, the US and East Asia has increased China’s trade surplus over the long term. Vertical Specialization and Trade Surplus in China aims to measure the level of VS in the Chinese manufacturing industry to provide a more accurate representation of China’s trade surplus, and gives empirical analysis on provinces and products with important VS activities in order to assess China’s trade value-added. Exploring the vertical division of labour, and foreign direct investment (FDI) driving China’s import and export imbalance, the book is divided into eight chapters, each covering an aspect of VS in China. The first chapter outlines the aims and method of the study. Chapter two covers VS trade pattern and trade surplus. Chapter three looks at FDI and the import and export imbalance, and chapter four covers the relationship between VS and import and export of foreign invested enterprises. The fifth chapter considers the causes and prospects for growth in China-US and China-Japan trade. Chapters six and seven give an empirical analysis of VS and trade surplus, and a breakdown of VS per industry in China’s provinces. Finally, chapter eight considers rebalancing imports and exports in China.

CONTENTSAims and methodology: VS trade pattern and China’s trade surplus; VS, FDI and China’s Import and Export Imbalance; VS and equilibrium relationship between import and export of foreign invested enterprises in China; VS: Causes and prospects of growth in China - US and China - Japan trade; Empirical analysis on the role for VS in China’s trade surplus; Advanced economies: Vertical trade per industries in China’s provinces; Closing remarks: Rebalancing the Chinese import and export.
