calculating the stresses in a welded wheel

[Lotusbert]

Hi,

I have to calculate the stress in the circular weld where the flange and the rim come together of a steel welded wheel. Any sugestions what formulas that I have to use ? I have to do this for single and double flanged wheels.

kind regards
