Mathematical Modelling Of Weld Phenomena

This volume contains papers presented at the fifth International Seminar on the ''Numerical Analysis of Weldability'' which was held in September 1999 at its usual location in Schloss Seggau near Graz, Austria. This biennial meeting was organised by the Institute of Materials Science and Welding Technology of the Technical University of Graz and the working group ''Mathematical Modelling of Weld Phenomena'' of Commission IX of the International Institute of Welding (IIW). The academic aim of these meetings is to publish authorative, well-written, refereed, and edited articles which are written in sufficient depth to enable the ready reproduction of the work and to serve as teaching material.
