Weld Joint - Butt Joint Calculation - Normal Load
The following equations will determine the normal stress applied to a butt welded joint under going normal load.
Normal Stress Formula
Where : | |
---|---|
σ1 | = Normal stress [MPa, psi] |
Fn | = Normal force [N, lb] |
A |
= Throat area of weld [mm2, in2] |
Reference Stress Formula Welding
Where: | |
σS | = Reference stress [MPa, psi] |
σ1 | = Normal stress [MPa, psi] |
α1 | = Coefficient of weld joint |
