t2+t2 = S2
2t2 = S2
t = sqrt(0.5S2)
=0.7071S
Throat area:
Area = t*L
0.7071S*L
f= F/A

f = F/A
Max Force
F = fA
= ftL
F =0.7071SfL
(p397)

Note: What stress?


Typically 410 nominal with FS=3

A 8mm fillet weld of length 100mm. What is force?


F = 0.7071*(410/3)*100*8 = 77,309.6 N

MPa!!!!!!!!!!

Hoop Stress = PD/2t (Cylinders)


Axial Stress = PD/4t (Spheres)
f= PD/2t
Allowable stress = 750/2.1 = 357.1429
Welds: 357.1429 *0.73 = 260.7143 MPa
t = PD/2f = 2.5*178/(2*260.7143) = 0.8534 mm
