Machine Design Questions and Answers – Unsymmetrically Loaded Welded Joints

This set of Machine Design quiz focuses on “Unsymmetrically Loaded Welded Joints”.

1. The two welds shown in the figure experience equal resisting force?
Welded joints are unsymmetrically loaded resisting forces are different in two welds
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: As the welded joints are unsymmetrically loaded hence resisting forces are different in the two welds.

2. The moment of forces about the CG is?
Welded joints are unsymmetrically loaded resisting forces are different in two welds
a) Zero
b) Infinite
c) P₁y₁+P₂y₂
d) None of the listed
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: External force passes through CG hence moment is zero.

3. Which equations can be used to find the resisting force in the two welds?
Welded joints are unsymmetrically loaded resisting forces are different in two welds
a) P=P₁+P₂
b) P₁+P₂=0
c) Both P=P₁+P₂ and P₁y₁=P₂y₂
d) P₁y₁=P₂y₂
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: One equation is of equilibrium and the other conservation of moment about CG.

6. Find the length of weld 2 required to with stand the load of 100kN. Permissible shear stress in weld is 70kN/mm².
Welded joints are unsymmetrically loaded resisting forces are different in two welds
a) None of the listed
b) 102.22mm
c) 132.4mm
d) 70.16mm
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: By finding CG y₂=103.9mm, therefore l₁y₁=l₂y₂ and l₁+l₂=202.06mm.

9. What kind of stresses does the welded joint undergo?
The following welded joint is an example of Eccentric Load in plane of welds
a) Torsional shear stress
b) Direct shear stress
c) Direct and torsional shear stress
d) None of the listed
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: After shifting force to CG, we have a force and a moment about CG.

10. While considering moment of inertia for calculating torsional shear stress, J=I(xx) + I(yy), which of the following can be neglected in context with the following figure?
The following welded joint is an example of Eccentric Load in plane of welds
a) I(xx)
b) I(yy)
c) Both I(xx) and I(yy)
d) None of the listed
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: I(xx) is negligible as compared to I(yy) as I(xx)=ltᵌ/12 and t is very less as compared to l so I(xx) is neglected in comparison to I(yy).

11. Calculate the direct shear stress in the welds by ignoring torsional shear stress if P=8kN and thickness of weld is 5mm.
The following welded joint is an example of Eccentric Load in plane of welds
a) None of the listed
b) 12.33N/mm
c) 13.33N/mm
d) 14.33N/mm
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Direct Shear=P/2xtx60.

12. Determine the torsional shear stress in the welds if P=8kN and thickness of the welds is assumed t.
The following welded joint is an example of Eccentric Load in plane of welds
a) None of the listed
b) 456.34/t
c) 543.13/t
d) 589.31/t
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: M=8000×150,r(farthest point)=√25²+25²,J=2x[tlᵌ/12 + Ar₁²] ; τ=Mr/J.

13. Find the thickness of the weld if P=8kN and permissible shear stress in the welds is 100N/mm².
The following welded joint is an example of Eccentric Load in plane of welds
a) 4mm
b) 5mm
c) 6mm
d) 7mm
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Direct shear stress and torsional shear stress act at an angle of 45’,135’,225’ and 315’. Maximum stress will be at the point where they act at 45’. Direct=8000/120t or 66.67/t and torsional =543.13/t. Hence net shear=592.1/t =100.
