Correlation Of Shear Strength Between Longitudial And Transverse Specimens, Erasto A. Fernandez May 2012

Correlation Of Shear Strength Between Longitudial And Transverse Specimens, Erasto A. Fernandez

University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

In this thesis, new methods for shear strength are proposed and backed up through extensive experimentation, ABAQUS models and data analysis of Titanium welds of three different alloys. The results are compared with those obtained by using the procedure outlined by AWS B4 for calculating Shear Strength in the transverse and longitudinal directions; this equation is widely used by the American Welding Society (AWS) and all those in search of more efficient designs involving welding.

It is a well-documented issue that the equation provided by AWS yields a large discrepancy between the values for shear strength of longitudinal and transverse …
