The National Shipbuilding Research Program. 1988 Ship Oroduction Symposium. Paper No. 12A: Designing Partial Penetration Tee Joints for Naval Ships
Abstract
This paper reviews development of weld design equations which can be used no analyze beveled partial penetration tee Joints. The method developed herein follows close the development of equations for design of square edge partial penetration tee Joints which were presented at the 1936 Ship Production Symposium. for U. S. Navy ship design, technical authority is vested in the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). The published NAVSEA design criteria for partial penetration tee joints is so conservative that it is mathematical impossible to design a conventional 100 percent efficient partial penetration beveled tee Joint. The alternate method for beveled Joints outlined in this paper might be an acceptable replacement for the simple, though unduly, conservative existing design criteria into a more rigorous engineering analysis.
