Hi,
Thanks for sharing. I was looking for something similar to this:
But I am not sure how sigma n1 and sigma n2 are determined along the linearized normal stress distribution in the weld toe plane. That was a bit confusing. Like in the following picture as well. I am talking about end...
Hi,
It is something like that. Bending is coming mostly from the thickness variation between base materials of butt weld. I calculated hot spot stress at thickness step using linear extrapolation rule but results are not good because extrapolation rule does not consider effects of thickness...
Hi,
It is actually a butt welded specimen with different thickness bases metals and subjected to fatigue loading. Both ends were clamped with load applied only on the side having thicker base material. Since I am determining hot spot stress, linear elastic assumption is fine for me.
Hi,
I am performing structural hot spot stress analysis on 2D butt welded profile with thickness step. I need to verify the hot spot stress calculated for this analysis using stress linearization. I know I have to integrate normal stress along the thickness of weld but I am now sure exactly how...
