Example 8a.1 Given: A welded plate supports a force of P = 50 kN. The width of the plate W = 200 mm, and the thickness, t = 50 mm. The weld is at 30 from the vertical. Req'd: Determine the Normal Stress and Average Shear Stress in the weld. Sol'n: Step 1. The axial stress in the plate is: sx = P/A = P/(Wt) = 5.0 MPa Step 2. The Stress Transformation Equations are:

Here, sy and txy are both zero, so the equations simplify to: sx' = 0.5 sx(1+cos2q) = stress normal to weld sy' = 0.5 sx (1cos2q) tx'y' = 0.5 sx (sin2q) = Ave. shear stress parallel to weld Therefore : sx' = 3.75 MPa, sy' = 1.25 MPa, tx'y' = 2.17 MPa Or, the normal and shear stresses acting on the weld are: sw = 3.75 MPa, |tw| = 2.17 MPa Note: the Principal of Invariance for the normal stresses is satisfied: sx' + sy' = sx + sy = 3.75 MPa + 1.25 MPa = 5.00 MPa Example 8a.2 Given: An element is subjected to the following stress: sx = 10 ksi; sy = 20 ksi; txy = 5 ksi. Req'd: (a) If the element is rotated q = 15, determine the new stresses. (b) Determine the Principal Stresses and their Angles. (c) Determine Maximum In-Plane Shear Stress, tmax, the angles of the

vectors that are normal to the faces on which they act, and the associated normal stresses.

Stress Element

Sol'n: Step 1. For the element rotated by 15 : sx' = 13.2 ksi, sy' = 16.8 ksi, tx'y' = 6.83 ksi

Step 2. Principal Stresses and Principal Angles. The Principal Stresses are:

and occur at angles rotated byqp:

For the element: sI = 22.1 ksi at qI = 67.5 Step 3. Maximum Shear Stress. The Maximum In-Plane Shear Stress is: sII = 7.93 ksi at qII = 113

and act on element faces that have outward pointing vectors rotated by qs from the x-axis:

Thus: tmax,1 = 7.07 ksi on face: qs,1 = 22.5 tmax,2 = 7.07 ksi on face: qs,2 = 113 ss,x = ss,y = save = 15 ksi A positive tmax means the shear stress causes a counterclockwise rotation on the face defined by qs. ... the shear stress on the xs face is positive.

A negative tmax means the shear stress causes a clockwise rotation on the face defined by qs... the shear stress on the xs face is negative.
