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.

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.

- axial force
- shearing force

Compared with the standard calculation method, the method of comparative stresses approaches a different way to calculate
stresses caused by the axial force or bending moment that actuate in the plane perpendicular to the weld plane. Generally the
stress in fillet welds has normal and tangential components. The method of comparative stresses is based on the fact that the
shear strength of weld metal is lower than the tensile strength. To simplify the calculation, weld joints are only checked for
shear stresses. But the calculation method is the same as in the standard calculation method. Used calculation formulas are
also similar.

The comparative stress is determined from calculated partial stresses according to the formula.
while for the x-component of stress that actuates in the investigated point of weld, perpendicularly to the weld direction, the
aX = a3 formula is applied. In the opposite case aX = a4. The same applies for the y-component of the stress actuating
perpendicularly to the weld direction, that is aY = a3 or aY = a4.
