    Shear stress: The component of stress which is coplanar with the material cross section is called as shear stress. It is the force tending to cause deformation of material along the plane which is parallel to the imposed stress. The figure shown above is lap weld in which two plates are overlapped and the the intersecting edge is welded.

    Given: Allowable shear stress = 70 Mpa, h = 10 mm, l = 110 mm

    Formula: Strength of welded joint = (τ h l) / √2

    here, τ = permissible shear stress, h = weld size, l = length of weld


    Solution:

    Substituting the given values we get,

    Strength of welded joint = (τ h l) / √2

    = (70 x 10 x 110) / √2

    = 54.44 x 103 N

    Strength of welded joint is 54.44 x 103 N.
