    Weld Tearing with Force Perpendicular to Weld

    Gents, Another one for any keen structural guys. I know the Yield Stress of the material and have a stress factor in mind. To go about calculating the maximum shear/tearing force at a distance away from the weld, can i work out the moment by saying: Force x distance from weld = Moment...
