Calculating Weld Stresses for a 3-Dimensional Weld Group
Calculating Weld Stresses for a 3-Dimensional Weld Group
(OP)
Hey all,
I'm wondering if anyone can provide insight on how to calculate weld stresses for the weld group as shown in the sketch provided. I'm struggling to determine what the polar moment of inertia, Ip, is in each direction. For example, in plan view, how does one calculate Ip when welds exist in orthogonal directions?
