Strength of Butt Welded Joint Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Tensile Stress in Weld = Tensile Force on Welded Plates/(Beam Width for Nominal Shear*Length of Weld)
σ_t = P/(b_ns*L)
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.
Beam Width for Nominal Shear - (Measured in Meter) - Beam Width for Nominal Shear is the shortest/least measurement of the beam.
Length of Weld - (Measured in Meter) - The Length of Weld is the linear distance of the welding segment joined by the welded joint.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Tensile Force on Welded Plates: 16.5 Kilonewton --> 16500 Newton (Check conversion here)
Beam Width for Nominal Shear: 15 Millimeter --> 0.015 Meter (Check conversion here)
Length of Weld: 19.5 Millimeter --> 0.0195 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

σ_t = P/(b_ns*L) --> 16500/(0.015*0.0195)

Evaluating ... ...

σ_t = 56410256.4102564

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

56410256.4102564 Pascal -->56.4102564102564 Newton per Square Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

56.4102564102564 ≈ 56.41026 Newton per Square Millimeter <-- Tensile Stress in Weld

What is butt joint?

A butt joint is a technique in which two pieces of material are joined by simply placing their ends together without any special shaping. The name 'butt joint' comes from the way the material is joined together.

How to Calculate Strength of Butt Welded Joint?

Strength of Butt Welded Joint calculator uses Tensile Stress in Weld = Tensile Force on Welded Plates/(Beam Width for Nominal Shear*Length of Weld) to calculate the Tensile Stress in Weld, Strength of Butt Welded Joint is the ratio of tensile force on the plate to the product of throat thickness and length of the weld. It is the maximum amount of stress that the welded joint can bear. Tensile Stress in Weld is denoted by σ_t symbol.
