Weld Joint - Butt Joint Calculation - Bending Load Perpendicular to Weld

Weld Design Menu

The following equations will determine the normal stress applied to a butt welded joint under going bending loading perpendicular to weld joint.

Weld Joint - Butt Joint Calculation - Bending Load Perpendicular to Weld

Normal Stress

Where :
Normal stress = Normal stress [MPa,psi]
u = Constant
- for calculation in metric units u = 1000
- for calculation in imperial units u = 12
= Bending moment [Nm, lb-ft]
W

= Section modulus of throat area of weld [mm3, in3]


Reference Stress

Reference Stress Formula
Where:
Reference stress = Reference stress [MPa,psi]
Normal Stress = Normal stress [MPa,psi]
Coefficient of Weld Joint = Coefficient of weld joint
