How to Calculate Maximum Shear Stress given Total Load Carried by Plates in Compound Weld?
Maximum Shear Stress given Total Load Carried by Plates in Compound Weld calculator uses Shear Stress = (Load on weld-0.707*Tensile Stress*Length of Single Fillet Lap Weld*Thickness of Plate)/(1.414*Length of Parallel Fillet Weld*Thickness of Plate) to calculate the Shear Stress, Maximum shear stress given total load carried by plates in compound weld is defined as the maximum concentrated shear force in a small area. It is very critical for a structural engineer to locate and evaluate the maximum shear stress in a member in order to design the member in such a way as to resist it. Shear Stress is denoted by 𝜏 symbol.
How to calculate Maximum Shear Stress given Total Load Carried by Plates in Compound Weld using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Maximum Shear Stress given Total Load Carried by Plates in Compound Weld, enter Load on weld (W), Tensile Stress (σt), Length of Single Fillet Lap Weld (Lsingle), Thickness of Plate (tplate) & Length of Parallel Fillet Weld (Lparallel) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Maximum Shear Stress given Total Load Carried by Plates in Compound Weld calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2.5E-6 = (9000-0.707*32000000*0.0015*0.012)/(1.414*0.2*0.012).
