Assignment of Surface Internal Forces my and vy to Weld Forces M and V

Diagram showing the relation between surface shear forces my, vy and weld seam forces M, V for the evaluation of welded joints

A diagram shows the relationship between the area moment forces my and vy and the weld forces M and V. It illustrates how these moment forces are used for the analysis of welded joints. The image illustrates the calculation and conversion of the area moment forces into the corresponding weld forces.
