Weld Stress Criteria
Weld Stress Criteria
(OP)
I wonder if someone could help,
I am modelling a welded ring in Ansys and am looking to identify the failure criteria against which to judge the stress in the weld.
The weld in question is subject to both direct thrust and bending loads.
My inital thinking would be to use a theory such as the Maximum Shear Stress criteria against the material shear, but am not 100% sure. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks
Stuart

Have a look at this site it gives calculations for various welds.
