Weld Joint - Butt Joint Calculation -Torque Load

Weld Design Menu

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

Weld Joint - Butt Joint Calculation -Torque Load

Shear Stress

Weld Shear Stress Formula
Where :
τmax = Shear Stress [MPA,psi]
u = constant
- for calculation in metric units u = 1000
- for calculation in imperial units u = 12
T = torque [Nm, lb-ft]
W

= section modulus of throat area of the weld [mm3, in3]

 

Reference Stress Formula

Reference Weld Stress Formula
Where : 
σs = Reference Stress [MPa,psi]
α2 = Shear Stress [MPa,psi]
τmax = coefficient of the weld joint
