Question

What are the assumption made in design of welded joint?

Answer 1

1.Welds are Homogeneous and Isotropic
2.Connected elements are Rigid with negligible deformation.
3.Only Nominal Stress due to external loads are Considered.

Answer 2

The assumptions made in the design of welded joi-nts are described below.

• The very first assumption in the design of welded joi-nts is that the weld joi-ning the two components is homogenous and isotropic.
• The second assumption is that the two materials or the elements which are being joi-ned or connected, are rigid, and have almost no deformations.
• Further, it is also assumed that only nominal stresses arising due to external loads, are to be considered.
