EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF STRESSES IN WELDED JOINTS

Abstract

Design of welded joints is normally accomplished by the use of formulas which predict the stresses in the throat area of the welds. By means of metal foil strain gages the stresses were determined in three models of fillet welds; one subjected to a transverse load, one to a longitudinal load, and one to an eccentric load. Agreement was good for the transversely loaded fillet weld, and fair for the longitudinally and eccentrically loaded fillet welds. A modification of one of the assumptions made in the design of one type of eccentrically loaded fillet weld is suggested because it provides closer agreement between experimental and calculated stresses.
