• Finite Element Analysis of fillet weld toes, fwiw...

    From Richard Smith@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 21 19:07:04 2022
    Hello all.

    A couple of days ago I wrote a new webpage on using Finite Element
    Analysis modelling to predict the effect of different weld toe shapes
    on the Stress Concentration Factor (SCF) there.

    http://www.weldsmith.co.uk/tech/finiteelement/16_fea_init/220217_fw_16mod_17res.html
    "FEA simulation of fillet-weld "toe" with specific weld features"

    All the resources - images, renderings, graphs, etc. and the key
    points of my text - are from 2016 and 2017 and re-used in a different
    way as "this is about welds and here is what FEA can do for welds".

    I am able to do that because this first application of FEA for my own
    purposes having worked through the tutorials has stood the test of
    time.

    There you have it - for what it's worth...
    Hope is of interest to some of you.

    Best message is "Finite Element Analysis modelling is very
    approachable and usable now"
