engineering recuitment BHEL Engineer Trainee Mock Test 2025 Design of Machine Elements Welded, Riveted and Bolted Joints Welded Joint
A plate of width 75 mm and thickness 10 mm is joined with another steel plate by single transverse and double parallel fillet weld, as shown in the given figure. The joint is subjected to a maximum tensile force of 55 kN. The permissible tensile and shear stresses in the weld material are 70 \(\rm \frac{N}{mm^2}\) and 50 \(\rm \frac{N}{mm^2}\) respectively. If a 15 mm length of the weld is added for starting and stopping the weld, then the required length of each parallel fillet weld will be:
1
40.29 mm
2
55.59 mm
3
20.59 mm
4
60.59 mm
