    Weld bending and shear stress calculation

    I'm definitely confused. HAHA That being said. Is this the better way to look at it? Weld Allowable Stress = Weld throat X Weld Length X Efficiency X Allowable Strength Load adding on Weld Case A = P x [A + B - (W/2)] / 2 Case A is trying to take into account the position of the bolt...

    Weld bending and shear stress calculation

    I'm going to need some more help setting up this formula. Questions? 1. For bending stress, does the fillet add any strength or should I only consider the bevel? 2. What am I using for my moment of inertia? Bevel weld throat = b x weld length = d I=bd^3 / 12 3. What would you call the...

    Weld bending and shear stress calculation

    Thanks for the reply. I have other calculations that analyze the stresses in the enclosure pipe and flat bar. I have come across the imagine below for welding I-beams but I'm not sure its the same with my weld configuration. My concern is making sure the welds are sized correctly. Some more...

    Weld bending and shear stress calculation

    Im needing help with developing some calculations for bending and shear stress. The weld will consist of a partial bevel and a fillet (fillet #2) which joins a piece of flat bar to a piece of pipe. See the picture. This will be used for a bolt-on pressure retaining clamp. Our current...
