WELD GROUP Eccentric weld group DESIGN | S16
Summary Weld Group is used to calculate the maximum resistance of a weld group and determine the smallest weld size that can be used to resist an in-plane force with arbitrary orientation.
What makes this module special?
Evaluate current weld group Optimise weld group for economic design Linear and non-linear stress analysis Detailed Equations
Detailed Description Weld Group is used to evaluate the capacity of a group of welds subject to an eccentric in-plane force. Any shape of weld can be defined by coordinates in the input table. For the analysis, there is a choice between linear and non-linear. The former assumes that the group’s centre of rotation coincides with the centroid of the group, while the latter uses the more accurate instantaneous centre of rotation method. A graphic of the stress distribution is displayed both evaluation and optimisation designs.
