Degree of Restraint (Butt joints) Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Degree of Restraint = (1000/86*(Transverse Shrinkage of Unrestrained Joint/Transverse Shrinkage-1))^(1/0.87)
k_s = (1000/86*(S/s-1))^(1/0.87)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Degree of Restraint - Degree of restraint is defined as the amount of reaction stress for a unit transverse shrinkage.
Transverse Shrinkage of Unrestrained Joint - (Measured in Meter) - Transverse Shrinkage of Unrestrained Joint is shrinkage produced when there is no restriction on the joint.
Transverse Shrinkage - (Measured in Meter) - Transverse Shrinkage is a shrinkage of the metal result of contraction of the base metal.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Transverse Shrinkage of Unrestrained Joint: 100 Millimeter --> 0.1 Meter (Check conversion here)
Transverse Shrinkage: 4 Millimeter --> 0.004 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

k_s = (1000/86*(S/s-1))^(1/0.87) --> (1000/86*(0.1/0.004-1))^(1/0.87)

Evaluating ... ...

k_s = 647.387227726476

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

647.387227726476 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

647.387227726476 ≈ 647.3872 <-- Degree of Restraint

k_s = (1000/86*(S/s-1))^(1/0.87)

What is called Distortion in welding terms ?

One of the major problems found with weldments is the distortion. Distortion is caused mainly because of the shrinkage that take place in weldments. The shrinkage taking place in a weldment depends upon the geometry and type of the weld. There are three types of distortions possible in weldments.

(a) Transverse shrinkage occurring perpendicular to the weld line.
(b) Longitudinal shrinkage occurring parallel to the weld line, which is very small of the order of about 0.1% of the weld length and hence can be neglected.
(c) Angular change as a rotation about the weld line.
