Weld Strength Calculation Example for Bending Moment

Application
The basic methodology and the required equations
for fillet weld size calculation is discussed in the
previous article . It will be great if you go through the
article before attempting to understand the welding
joint design calculation example here.
Now lets see how the weld design equations discussed in the previous article are applied here to find out the required
welding size:
Weld Strength Calculation Example in Bending
F= applied load = 20000 N

D = Diameter of tube = 200 mm
X = Distance = 100mm
1. Unit throat length area (Au) of the welded joint is calculated from the eq.1 as below:
Au=3.14*D=3.14*200=628 sq.mm
2. Design strength (Pw) is calculated from the eq.2 as:

Pw=0.5*fu=0.5*430 = 215 N/sq. Mm
Where,
fu is the ultimate tensile stress of the parent material.
Assuming the parent material as S275 which has ultimate stress value (fu) 430 N/sq.mm.

Iu=3.14*(D/2)*(D/2)*(D/2)=3.14*200*200*200/8=3140000 mm4
Where,

3.14 is the value of PI.

4. Direct shear stress (s) for the fillet welded connection is calculated from the eq.3 as:
Follow via Goog
s=F/Au=20000/628=31.87 N/sq.mm
5. Shear stress due to bending ( b) is calculated from the eq.4 as:
b=M*Y/Iu=F*X*0.5*D/Iu= 20000*100*0.5*200/3140000 = 63.69

N/sq.mm
Where,
M is the bending moment for the applied force
Y is the distance between the X-X axis and the extreme fibre of the welded cross section, it is radius for the circular cross
section.
6. Resultant stress () can be found out after weld stress analysis calculation by using the eq.5 as:
=(s* s + b* b)=(31.78*31.78+63.69*63.69)=71.17 N/sq.mm or MPa
7. Weld throat size (t) to be calculated using the eq.6 like:
t= / Pw=71.17 / 215= 0.331 mm
8. Weld leg length (L) need to be find out using the eq.7 as:
L=1.414*t = 1.414*0.331 = 0.468 mm
So, from the fillet weld size calculation example we found that the required minimum weld leg length to withstand the weld
force is to be 0.468 mm, we will take the 3mm as the weld size for this example problem.

The units do not work out. t= tau/Pw = (N/ Sq mm) / (N/Sq mm) = unitless and not length. There are other issues as
well, but I would revisit your analysis if I were you.
Nice try though.

Thanks for your comment.
Please see the previous article:
http://blog.mechguru.com/machine-design/fillet-weld-size-calculation-equations-for-welding-joint-subjectedto-bending-moment/
You will find that the tau and Pw is calulated based on unit throat sie in mm and hence by dividing tau / Pw you
will get the throat size in mm.
It will be great if you tell what are the other issues, i can try to correct it.

Should the first equation to be r 2 instead of D?

Hello, one thing im confused, after calculation, t=0.331mm, L=0.468mm, but why in your last sentence said the weld
size is 3mm, not 0.331mm?

No if you divide mm by mm you get dimensionless units. Bad math, sir.

tau is calculated as the total stress experienced by the welded joint for UNIT throat size. On the other hand Pw
is the maximum permissible stress for the joint. So, to find out how many unit of throat size will require to resist the
Pw you need to divide tau/Pw.
Or in other words, the unit of tau , actually, is (N/sq. mm)/mm or (N.mm/sq. mm).

Hope it make sense.

Weld size means weld throat size

No, you have to take D as it will give you circumferential length of the weld sorrounding the circuler shaft

Awesome sauce! Now it makes perfect sense. Thanks for clarifying.

your initial calculation of unit weld throat area is incorrect.. pi*D will give you the length of the weld and not area,
though the theory about combined stress is correct, the calculation you have there is flawed.

MechGuru, in actual, how can you find out the moment arm or the x in this computation?

If it is a point load applying then you can get x by directly finding the distance between the application point and
welded joint face.
In case it is distributed load, then use center of gravity for calculating the X.
Have i answered you?

Ref eq 5. Should the combined shear be 1/2 the bending stress squared added to direct shear squared then take the sq
root of the sum? Total shear = sqrt [ (tb/2)^2 + (ts^2) ]

please letus also take instead of round shaft , if it is hollow shaft having inside hydro pressure, then euation ?

Hi, Im checking out your calculationsIt seems ok to me although Im confused with the formula for the Inertia of
a Tube..you used PI()*(D/2)^3..which Im pretty sure is the section modulus for a circle (Inertia/Ymax =
PI()*(D/2)^4*1/(D/2)could you explain me why you are not using I = PI()*(R/2-r/2)^4, where R= external radius
of the welding and r= internal radius of the welding.
Im trying to apply the same procedure for a Column fixed on a plate and I think is not so straight forward because of
geometryI would appreciate your comments on this, thanks for your time.

I have been searching for a Circular Weld Design Example there are very few.
Your example was extremely helpful. I had to turn it into pounds and inches but the
methodology you showed saved me . A Kilogazillion Thank Yous

Theres an error in step 1 of this, it should be pi*R^2 to get the units that are represented, not pi*D (this is
circumference not area).
