| Practice Problem 8-1 (a) |
|
|
Given: A welded plate carries a force of P = 40-kN. The width of the plate, W, is 100 mm, and the thickness, t, is 20 mm. The weld is at 45° from the vertical. Req'd: |
|
|
Solution: In order to determine the stress normal to the weld one must use the stress transformation equations or the Stress Transformation Calculator. due to the applied load there is only one stress, that in the direction of the force, P. sN = (sx+0)/2 + (sx-0)cos(90)/2 + (0)sin(90) = sx/2 = 10 MPa |
