Abstract
This paper deals with simple methods for calculation of fillet welds based on the theory of
plasticity. In developing the solutions the lower-bound theorem is used. The welding material
and parts of the base material are subdivided into triangular regions with homogeneous stress
fields; thereby a safe and statically admissible stress distribution is established. The plasticity
solutions are compared with tests carried out at the Engineering Academy of Denmark,
Lyngby, in the early nineties, and old fillet weld tests. The new failure conditions are in very
good agreement with the yield load tests, but not so good agreement with the old failure load
tests.
