A fillet welded Joint is subjected to transverse loading

Home » Machine Design » Machine Design Miscellaneous » Question

A fillet welded Joint is subjected to transverse loading F as shown in figure. Both legs of the fillets are of 10 mm size and the weld length is 30 mm. If the allowable shear stress of the weld is 94 MPa, considering the minimum throat of the weld, the maximum allowable transverse load in kN is

1. 14.44
2. 17.92
3. 19.93
4. 22.16

Correct Option: C

P = 0.707 sl. τ_allowable
= 0.707 × 10 × 30 × 94
= 19937.4N
= 19.934 kN
