    Bead Strength
AI Thread Summary
Calculating weld bead strength requires a clear understanding of shear stress and the forces acting on the weld. The discussion highlights the need for clarification on the orientation of angle beta in relation to the xy plane. There is confusion regarding the use of shear force to compute normal stress, specifically the calculation of alphay using cos(beta). Participants emphasize the importance of accurately depicting the applied forces and moments in a sketch to better analyze the joint loading. A precise representation of the assembly will aid in understanding the weld strength calculations.

I am looking into calculating the weld bead strength. I am unsure of calculating the shear stress..the attachment has a drawing..any help is appreciated

vanuta: (1) Is angle beta in the xy plane? Or not in the xy plane?

(2) Why do you call alphay a normal stress, when it looks like you are using a shear force, F*cos(beta), to compute alphay?

(3) Why do you use cos(beta) to compute alphay?

(4) I am not yet confident that you have drawn the applied force, F, as it really occurs on the real assembly. Please draw a correct, quick, freehand sketch of the assembly, showing how and where the applied force(s), such as F, are really applied. And show the x, y, and z dimensions to the point of application of the applied force(s) (and applied moment(s), if any), so that we can really see how your joint is loaded.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
