Axial Force on Perpendicular Plug Weld formulas

\(\large{ \tau_b = \frac{ P }{ 0.5 \; d^2 \; n  }     }\)  
\(\large{ \tau_p = \frac{ P }{ 2.2 \; d \; t \; n  }     }\)  

Where:

\(\large{ \tau_b }\) (Greak symbol tau) = shear stress in weld base area

\(\large{ \tau_p }\) (Greak symbol tau) = shear stress in weld peripheral area

\(\large{ d }\) = diameter of plug weld

\(\large{ n }\) = number of welds

\(\large{ t }\) = plate thickness

\(\large{ P }\) = total axial force
