Welds strength verification

Welding as a joining technique is always used when high force transmission with low meterial input is important.

Due to their high safety relevance, welded joints must be subjected to a strength test.

Depending on the requirements and complexity of the assembly, we calculate the static and dyamic strength of welds using the following methods:

• Notch stress method: 3D modelling of welds with notch radius and evaluation according to FKM guidelines.
• Structural stress method (hot-spot): 3D modelling of the welds without notch radius and evaluation according to Eurocode 3.
