Shrinkage of Unrestrained Joint from given Shrinkage of Restrained Butt Joint Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Transverse Shrinkage of Unrestrained Joint = Transverse Shrinkage*(1+0.086*Degree of Restraint^0.87)
S = s*(1+0.086*k_s^0.87)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

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.
Degree of Restraint - Degree of restraint is defined as the amount of reaction stress for a unit transverse shrinkage.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Transverse Shrinkage: 4 Millimeter --> 0.004 Meter (Check conversion here)
Degree of Restraint: 647.3872 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = s*(1+0.086*k_s^0.87) --> 0.004*(1+0.086*647.3872^0.87)

Evaluating ... ...

S = 0.0999999964229827

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0999999964229827 Meter -->99.9999964229827 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

99.9999964229827 ≈ 100 Millimeter <-- Transverse Shrinkage of Unrestrained Joint

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.
