Fillet Weld Polar Moment of Inertia Equations and Calculation

Weld Design Menu

The following are equations to obtain the Polar Moment of Inertia for "J" welds.

Where:

J

Polar Moment of inertia [mm4, in4]

= Center of Gravity Location [mm, in]

= Center of Gravity Location [mm, in]

A

= Height fillet weld [mm, in]

B

= Width of weld [mm, in]
s = Web thickness [mm, in]
L = Length of weld [mm, in] 
r = Weld radius [mm, in]
t = Flange thickness [mm, in]
H = Height of fillet weld group [mm, in]
