Weld Joint - Butt Joint Calculation - Shear Load
The following equations will determine the shear stress applied to a butt welded joint under going shear loading applied to weld joint.
Shear Stress
Where : | |
---|---|
= Shear stress [MPa,psi] | |
Ft | = shear force [N, lb] |
A |
= Throat area of the weld [mm2, in2] |
Reference Stress
Where : | |
---|---|
= Reference stress [MPa,psi] | |
= Shear stress [MPa, psi] | |
= Coefficient of weld joint |
