Strength of the Welded Joints on which Shear Force is Applied at Low Temperature (Part II)

Effect of throat Depth Weld Lenhth

Abstract

In the previous report, the effect of temperature on the fracture behavior and the strength of welded joints which were loaded paralell to the axis of weld were explained.
In the present report, the effect of the throat depth and weld length on the strength of these welded joints are explained experimentally and theoretically.
The results obtained are as follows:
1) The critical shear displacement which depends on temperature is not affected by the throat depth and the weld length.
2) The strength of these welded joints at low temperature are given theoretically as a function of temperature, throat depth and weld length. And its values agree well with the experimental values.
