Perpendicular Shear Stress for Plug Weld Joint Equation
The following equations will determine the Perpendicular Shear Stress for Plug Weld Joint.
Shear Stress in Weld Base Area
Where: | |
τz |
= Shear stress in weld base area [MPa,psi] |
F |
= Shear force [N, lb] |
d |
= Diameter of plug 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] |
d | = Diameter of plug weld [mm,in] |
s | = Plate thickness [mm, in] |
i | = Number of welds |
