Plug Weld
(OP)
Can a plug weld be used to reduce bending in a plate which is attached to another bigger plate (with an all-around fillet weld). The loading is is axial tension.
I read that plug welds are good in shear but not recommended in tension.

I don't want to specify a plug weld to supplement bending in a plate and the everyone look at me like I am from MARS.

If it is, and the plug weld is closer to the load point, it may pick up all the load.

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
