This book comprehensively examines every aspect of resistance welding, from metallurgy and fundamental physical processes, such as electrothermal processes and discontinuities, to mechanical testing, process monitoring and control, weld quality and inspection, expulsion, and numerical simulation. The authors emphasize statistical design, analysis, and inference in resistance welding research, enabling readers to conduct their own investigations. They present state-of-the-art research results from their own studies as well as from other leading experts, and the text's many examples are derived from real experiments. Case studies and nearly 300 figures illustrate the concepts.

The field of control theory in PDEs has broadened considerably as more realistic models have been introduced and investigated. This book presents a broad range of recent developments, new discoveries, and mathematical tools in the field. The authors discuss topics such as elasticity, thermo-elasticity, aero-elasticity, interactions between fluids and elastic structures, and fluid dynamics and the new challenges that they present. Other control theoretic problems include parabolic systems, dynamical Lame systems, linear and nonlinear hyperbolic equations, and pseudo-differential operators on a manifold. This is a valuable tool authored by international specialists in the field.

An updated version of the popular book on graph theory, Graphs & Digraphs, Fourth Edition maintains its predecessor's reputation for being thorough, accurate, and complete. Over the years, the book has evolved from a completely mathematical treatment to one that also considers the mathematical needs of computer scientists. The problems posed are designed to teach readers how to construct various proofs and in doing so, learn the meanings of definitions and concepts. The new edition features major changes to the sections on domination, colorings, distance, and Ramsey theory. The authors also added more problems, removed outdated material, and offer a solutions manual with qualifying course adoptions.
