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 α X = α 3 formula is applied. In the opposite case α X = α 4 . The same applies for the y-component of the stress actuating perpendicularly to the weld direction, that is α Y = α 3 or α Y = α 4 .
