General Steps:
1. Determine loading/draw a FBD
2. Select a temporary weld contour or weld shape
3. Determine Geometric properties [A, I, J]
a. Need the throat height [h]
b. Throat height should be less than half base material thickness
4. Identify critical points: find maximum secondary shear and max total shear.
5. Select the electrode material
6. Find the allowable stress for the appropriate code
7. Find the static safety factor
8. Find the alternating and midrange stress
9. Find the material properties: Sse, Ssu, Ssy
10. Select the fatigue Criterion
11. Iterate as needed
Determine Loading/Select Weld Shape:
Different loading scenarios:
Force that passes through the centroid of the weld (Direct Force or Axial Force):
- Primary shear only, evenly distributed
Force that does not pass through the weld centroid (Direct Force and a Torsion/Moment):
- Primary shear that is evenly distributed
- Secondary shear that varies depending on distance from the centroid. Stress is perpendicular
to the line from the centroid to that point.
Geometric Properties:
See tables 9-1 or 9-2

Weld Materials:
- If you cannot find the weld material, assume that it has the base materials hot rolled
properties.
- Otherwise, use table 9-3.

Note that you will likely only have one primary and one secondary shear.
If you have multiple, and they act in the same direction as each other, you can add them
algebraically.
