Loading in the plane perpendicular to the weld plane induces a tensile or pressure stress V
in the weld.

For calculation purposes, the bending force can be substituted by the combination of
shearing force FY acting in the weld plane and the bending moment M acting in the plane
perpendicular to the weld plane. Then the stress in the weld can be calculated using the
previously mentioned procedure.
The bending moment is defined by a formula:
where:
FY
constant

For calculation purposes, the common force F can be substituted by the combination of
shearing force FY acting in the weld plane with the axial force FZ and the bending moment M
acting in the plane perpendicular to the weld plane. Then the stress in the weld for so
defined loading can be calculated using the above mentioned procedure.
The particular components of the loading are defined by formulas:
- bending moment
- axial force
FZ = F cos M [N, lb]
- shearing force
FY = F cos M [N, lb]

while for the x-component of stress that actuates in the investigated point of weld,
perpendicularly to the weld direction, the DX = D3 formula is applied. In the opposite case DX
= D4. The same applies for the y-component of the stress actuating perpendicularly to the
weld direction, that is DY = D3 or DY = D4.
