Solved: The space available for a weld-bead pattern
Chapter 9, Problem 9-33(choose chapter or problem)
The space available for a weld-bead pattern subject to bending is \(a \times a\). Place the patterns of Table 9-2 in hierarchical order of efficiency of weld metal placement to resist bending. A formal figure of merit can be directly proportion to I and inversely proportional to the volume of weld metal laid down:
\(\text { fom }=\frac{I}{\operatorname{vol}}=\frac{0.707 h I_u}{\left(h^2 / 2\right) l}=1.414 \frac{I_u}{h l}\)
The tactical figure of merit can omit the constant 1.414, that is, fom \({ }^{\prime}=I_u /(\mathrm{hl})\). Omit the patterns intended for T beams and I beams. Rank the remaining seven.
