55 kip is the maximum it will ever see and will be a rare load condition. 20 kip would be normal. What effect does heat treatment have on fatigue resistance?
The process requires it to be be elevated to a temperature of 350 degrees for a few hours. It will see a 55 kip tensile force. So roughly a 2.3 FOS.
The only bending that will occur is due to the bolt heads being an 1.5 inches away from the weld but the bolted connection should be stiff enough...
The manual calls out ultimate strength dropping down to 24 ksi as welded. I will be artificially aging the material to bring the weld back up to 42 ksi ult. I don't exactly know what the base material will be since its probably a combination of the filler and base but the as welded number should...
Ok I snagged a AA Design Manual.
Base Metal
Rn=FnBM*ABM
Rn = Nominal Strength
Weld Metal
Rn = Fnw*Awe
Since the this load case is in Shear both equations end up being having the same variables
FnBM= 0.6*Ftuw
ABM = Sw*Lwe
Ftuw = 24 KSI as defined by the manual
Sw = .375 as the thickness...
Hi all,
I am looking to determine the maximum tensile force I can put on a pipe that has a welded flange. The pipe is 7.5" OD, 3/8 Wall thickness and the flange is 1" thick with its ID matching the pipes OD and an OD of 12".
I have called out a full penetration weld that will require grooving...
Yea any small radius on the hard edge will cause a new face. This complicates things more than I want to deal with. I see that other programs can blend fillets. I would think inventor would be able to do the same. If it doesn't exist in inventor I can use ANSYS Design Modeler if someone knows...
Hi All,
I am trying to get a clean blended fillet in inventor so I can reduce the stress concentration in FEA. However I cannot figure out how to do this with the inventor fillet feature. I gave an example of what I am trying to accomplish in the image below. I used a sweep to cut out what a...
