When working on a simple beam model the forces extracted from joints in that model show forces correlating to an acceptable weld capacity.
When the same structure is modelled with finite elements (plate/shell elemets), sometimes you might see that for this same joint a significant portion of...
Dear Experts,
We have developed a new welding procedure for our client however, they are not happy with the impact test temperature.
The minimum design requirement for the vessel is -29 degrees C therefore we impact tested the test pieces at -30 degrees C.
The client is saying that the...
