Fatigue in Friction Stir Welding provides knowledge on how to design and fabricate high performance, fatigue resistance FSW joints. It summarizes fatigue characterizations of key FSW configurations, including butt and lap-shear joints. The book's main focus is on fatigue of aluminum alloys, but discussions of magnesium, steel, and titanium alloys are also included. The FSW process-structure-fatigue performance relationships, including tool rotation, travel speeds, and pin tools are covered, along with sections on extreme fatigue conditions and environments, including multiaxial, variable amplitude, and corrosion effects on fatigue of the FSW.

From a practical design perspective, appropriate fatigue design guidelines, including engineering and microstructure-sensitive modeling approaches are discussed. Finally, an appendix with numerous representative fatigue curves for design and reference purposes completes the work.

Dr. Jordon has extensive experience in fatigue and fracture of metals and in particular, he has studied fatigue in friction stir welding for nearly a decade. His other interests include, constitutive modeling of plasticity and damage, process-structure-property-performance relationships, modeling of welding and joining, and solid-state additive manufacturing and processing. Dr. Jordon has published over 90 refereed journal articles and conference proceedings in these and related areas. His research has been supported by the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense, the State of Alabama, and various private industries. Professionally, Dr. Jordon has organized numerous symposia and chaired committees at the annual ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition (IMECE) and The Minerals, Metals, & Materials Society (TMS) meetings. In 2014, Dr. Jordon was a recipient of the TMS Young Professional Development award. Recently, he was a finalist for The University of Alabama President’s Faculty Research Award (2017). He currently serves on the editorial board of Materials and Manufacturing Processes journal. Prior to coming to The University of Alabama, Dr. Jordon was an Interim Associate Director and an Assistant Research Professor at the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems at Mississippi State University.

Robert Amaro's research focuses on characterization and modelling of fatigue in metals, with particular focus on coupled environmental-fatigue mechanisms.

Dr. Paul G. Allison is an Assistant Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL. Dr. Allison
has nearly a decade of widespread experiences on both the computational and experimental fatigue behavior of metallic materials, and specifically fatigue of friction stir welding. Dr. Allison is also pioneering computational and experimental research on the MELD solid-state additive manufacturing process, and is involved in characterizing the structure-property-processing relations of a variety of material systems to support basic and applied research projects.
