Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a design force of 30kN, determine the required weld length in a fillet if the allowable weld stress is 100MPa. Assume the effective throat thickness is 5mm.
💡 Hint: Use the formula: Length = Force / (Stress * Thickness).
If a butt weld has a width of 12mm and using a design load of 50kN, calculate the required throat thickness if the allowable weld stress is 120MPa.
💡 Hint: Remember to convert and use units consistently.
