Fillet weld under static load
Resultant forces, weld-throat shear/normal stresses and the equivalent stress for a statically loaded fillet weld under an eccentric, angled load (single- or double-sided weld).
Equivalent stress, σ_eq368 MPa
Resultant, H = F·cos(α)450 kN
Resultant, V = F·sin(α)536 kN
Resultant moment, M = F·e·sin(α)54 1e3 Nm
Shear stress, τ(H)90 MPa
Normal stress, σ(V)76 MPa
Shear stress, τ(V)76 MPa
Section modulus, Wx = 2·(⅙·a·L²)4.167 1e-4 m³
Normal stress, σ(M)91 MPa
Shear stress, τ(M)91 MPa
Legacy filename hijsoog.htm ("lifting eye" in Dutch) and the classification CSV's copied title ("Glijlager slijtage berekening", from e4_4.htm) both misdescribe this page. The actual source computes a statically loaded fillet weld, not a bearing or a lifting eye — named and categorized here for its real content.
