Bevel Groove Plug Weld Joint Equation
The following equation will determine the Shear Stress in groove or slot weld joint.
Shear Stress in Weld Base Area
Where: | |
τz |
= Shear stress in weld base area [MPa,psi] |
F |
= Shear force [N, lb] |
b |
= Width of weld [mm,in] |
L | = Length of weld [mm,in] |
i |
= Number of welds |
Shear Stress in Weld Peripheral Area
Where: | |
τo |
= Shear stress in weld peripheral area [MPa,psi] |
F | = Shear force [N, lb] |
s | = Plate thickness [mm, in] |
L | = Length of weld [mm,in] |
i | = Number of welds |
