Hi,
I am trying to learn how to calculate welds. I want to weld a plate to a flange With butt welds. Plate thickness 5 mm, flange 6 mm. Height of plate 120 mm, Width of flange 43 mm. Total length 450 mm. Plate is fixed at both ends leading to a shear force of w*l/2 and moment of w*l^2/12.
The plate is exposed to a pressure of 0.2 MPa. As I see it the weld will have to take a shear force and a moment from this evenly Distributed pressure load. How do I proceed to calculate the welds? I have been Reading up online but I find alot of the information to be a bit confusing. I would appreciate any help as this has taken up to much of my time...
