- How can we account for dynamic (shock) loads when designing welded connections ?
Hi,
in the books about the design of welded connection, we can find detailed description of calculations for static and fatigue loads. But what about the other type of dynamic behavior - shock ? As an example consider welded parts of the tow hitch used to free vehicles stuck in mud. Of course, numerical analyses can include such dynamic effects but is it possible to account for them in analytical calculations ? If yes then how to do it or where can I find some examples ?
Thanks in advance for your help
