Failure in the sheet

Forces and Moments on the Weld Connection for Failure at the Sheet Metal

Radial stresses are calculated based on the forces and moments, shown in the preceding figure, by the following equations determined by the theory of elasticity solution of a rigid circular kernel in an elastic sheet:

with:

In these equations, the sheet thickness is given by t and the spot weld diameter by d. The forces and moments are taken at the mid-plane of the sheet. The parameter k is a material-dependent geometry correction factor. The default value is .
