Weld, FEA, literature

Hi,

I need to learn about methods for dimensioning and evaluation of weldings with FEA. Any good books or other sources of information in this matter?

Thanks TVP.

I looked through some of the material on that site. I find that the information is focused on the results and highlighting the quality of their calculations. What I want is descriptions of established methods for modeling the strenght and durability of welds using FEA.

I'm sure there are some good texts on this subject. I greatly appreciate your help.
