STRENGTH TEST OF THE SMIT BRACKET KNEES WELDING TO THE WELDED-IN PLATE The calculation is being made for the test load = 1200 kN. The Smit brackets knees are welded to the reinforced plate by means of 8 weld seam with 8mm leg. Tangential stresses of the walls cutting of the Smit bracket knees are subject to the weld seams.

P 6 1200 10 3 6 10 = 10 = 25 MPa < [] = 140 MPa. fc 0,04864

Where fc = (0,54 + 0,54 + 0,2)(0,03 + 0,008) = 0,04864 m 2 area of the knees walls cutting subject to the weld seams, m 2 (cutting is taken in the middle of the weld seam leg) see fig.1. The wall thickness of the Smit bracket knee is 30mm, the weld seam leg is 8mm, total length of the knee welding to the reinforced plate 1,28m. P = 1200 kN test load of the Smit bracket.

Fig. 1. Fastening of Smit bracket knees to the reinforced welded-in plate Working normal stresses are accepted according to the Rules of RMRS -2005 (Part III, it. 5.7.3) that are equal to a half of ultimate strength of the hull material (36 steel ultimate strength according to the ABS-2004, is 490 MPa). [] = 0,5 = 0,5490 = 245 MPa. Working tangential stresses are accepted as [] = 0,57[] = 0,57245 = 140 MPa.
