Weld Joint - Butt Joint Calculation - Bending Load Perpendicular to Weld
The following equations will determine the normal stress applied to a butt welded joint under going bending loading perpendicular to weld joint.
Normal Stress
Where : | |
---|---|
= 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
Where: | |
= Reference stress [MPa,psi] | |
= Normal stress [MPa,psi] | |
= Coefficient of weld joint |
