Question

Parallel fillet weld and transverse fillet weld both have the plane in which maximum shear stress occurs at 45’ to the leg dimension.

(a) True

(b) False

I received this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

This challenging question is from the Butt Joints & Fillet Joins in Welded and Riveted Joints of Machine Design

Answer 1

Recommended answer is (b) False

Breaking it down, I'd say: Transverse fillet weld has that plane inclined at 67.5 .
