    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.

    Given: la = lb = 100 mm, weld size = 15 mm, shear stress =100 Mpa

    Formula:

    1)W = τ t (l1 + l2)

    2) h = t / √2

    Solution:

    Substituting the given values we get,

    1) h = 15 / √2

    Load carrying capacity (W) = [100 x 15 x (100 +100)] / √2

    = 212.13 x 103 N

    = 212.13 kN

    Load carrying capacity = 212.13 kN
