Abstract
The mechanics of a circular, spot weld between two identical elastic plates is studied. A method of solution similar to that used by the authors in a paper concerned with the influence of an elastic layer on the tangential compliance of bodies in contact is used. In the present analysis the relation between tangential load and deflection is lost due to the nature of the problem; hence, physical quantities are determined in terms of the total tangential load applied in the weld region.
