I'm using this formula (attached) from Roark's Formulas for Stress And Strain. I also did FEA using shell elements and basically got the same answer as the formula. The weld strength is what's killing...
Thanks, for the reply. Is there a formula or a mathematical procedure to calculate the strength of the weld in a situation like this? I've attached a simplified example illustration.
To give a little bit of background the frame in the first post simulates a VERY rough example of a shipping...
Hi,
I'm trying to determine the strength of a weld in a unique situation, please see attached. I have an aluminum sheet welded to a frame made with extrusions. The sheet is loaded with a pressure that will put a bending load in the welds. I know the bending moments at the welds but I can't...
Hi,
We are currently designing a fixture to join two shaker tables. Each shaker table has the same hole pattern but 70.375" +/- .25" apart. If it was a fixture for a single shaker I know how to dimension the fixture using the fixed fastener formula. But the addition of a second shaker is...
