Thickness of Plates in Lap Joints Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Plate Thickness in Lap Joint = (1.52*Length of Fillet Leg)/Transverse Shrinkage
p_tl = (1.52*h)/s
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Plate Thickness in Lap Joint - (Measured in Meter) - Plate Thickness in Lap Joint refers to the thickness of the overlapping plates that are welded together.
Length of Fillet Leg - (Measured in Meter) - The length of fillet leg in welding is the distance from the root of the fillet weld to the toe, measured along the legs of the triangular cross-section.
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

Length of Fillet Leg: 2.39 Millimeter --> 0.00239 Meter (Check conversion here)
Transverse Shrinkage: 4 Millimeter --> 0.004 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

p_tl = (1.52*h)/s --> (1.52*0.00239)/0.004

Evaluating ... ...

p_tl = 0.9082

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.9082 Meter -->908.2 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

908.2 Millimeter <-- Plate Thickness in Lap Joint

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

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.
