Question: When comparing two different weldment patterns it is useful to observe the resistance to bending or torsion and the volume of weld metal deposited. Measure

When comparing two different weldment patterns it is useful to observe the resistance to bending or torsion and the volume of weld metal deposited. Measure of effectiveness, defined as second moment of area divided by weld-metal volume, is useful. If a 6-in by 8-in section of a cantilever carries a static 10 kip bending load 10 in from the weldment plane, with an allowable shear stress of 12 800 psi realized, compare horizontal weldments with vertical weldments. The horizontal beads are to be 6 in long and the vertical beads, 8 in long.
