Weld Joint - Butt Joint Calculation - Shear Load

Weld Design Menu

The following equations will determine the shear stress applied to a butt welded joint under going shear loading applied to weld joint.

Weld Joint - Butt Joint Calculation

Shear Stress

Shear Stress Formula
Where :

= Shear stress [MPa,psi]
Ft = shear force [N, lb]
A

= Throat area of the weld [mm2, in2]


Reference Stress

Reference Stress Formula
Where :
= Reference stress [MPa,psi]
= Shear stress [MPa, psi]
= Coefficient of weld joint
