Investigation reveals traditional calculations overestimate the leg of fillet welds, suggesting improved safety factors and stress analysis methods.
Based on the laws of mechanics of materials, the strength of welded joints with fillet welds is investigated. It is shown that the traditional calculation used does not correspond to the conditions of static equilibrium, since it overestimates the value of the leg of the fillet weld, which significantly increases the material consumption of the welded joint. A calculation is proposed that takes into account the combined effect of normal and shear stresses. Keywords fillet welded joint, design calculation, shear and normal stresses, safety factor, equivalent stresses, critical section, minimum cross-sectional area latun.tatsiana.0@gmail.com
