Average Tensile Stress in Butt Weld Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Tensile Stress in Weld = Tensile Force on Welded Plates/(Length of Weld*Throat Thickness of Weld)
σ_t = P/(L*h_t)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Tensile Stress in Weld - (Measured in Pascal) - Tensile Stress in Weld is the average stress experienced by the Weld Beads when the joint plates are brought to tension.
Tensile Force on Welded Plates - (Measured in Newton) - Tensile Force on Welded Plates is the stretching force acting on the plates that are welded.
Length of Weld - (Measured in Meter) - The Length of Weld is the linear distance of the welding segment joined by the welded joint.
Throat Thickness of Weld - (Measured in Meter) - Throat thickness of weld is the shortest distance from the root to the face of the weld.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Tensile Force on Welded Plates: 16.5 Kilonewton --> 16500 Newton (Check conversion here)
Length of Weld: 19.5 Millimeter --> 0.0195 Meter (Check conversion here)
Throat Thickness of Weld: 15.002 Millimeter --> 0.015002 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

σ_t = P/(L*h_t) --> 16500/(0.0195*0.015002)

Evaluating ... ...

σ_t = 56402736.0454504

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

56402736.0454504 Pascal -->56.4027360454504 Newton per Square Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

56.4027360454504 ≈ 56.40274 Newton per Square Millimeter <-- Tensile Stress in Weld

Effective Area of Weld for Tensile Stress

Effective Area of Weld also known as Throat Area is the minimum area of weld that holds the plates together and resists the tension force acting on the plates.
It is the projection of the Surface Area of Weld Beads onto the plate boundary.
