Design of Welded Joints
Version 2 ME , IIT Kharagpur
 
 
Instructional Objectives:
At the end of this lesson, the students should be able to understand:
•
Possible failure mechanisms in welded joints.
•
How to design various kinds of welding joints.
1. Design of a butt joint:
The main failure mechanism of welded butt joint is tensile failure.Therefore the strength of a butt joint is

t 
=length of the weld.

2. Design of transverse fillet joint:
Consider a single transverse joint as shown infigure 10.4.2. The generalstress distribution in the weld metal is very complicated. In design, a simpleprocedure is used assuming that entire load
