The document discusses the design of lifting lugs for a vessel, including calculating the design load, sizing the pin, determining lug thickness, and checking the weld designs.

The design load is calculated by multiplying the weight to be lifted by the impact factor of 1.6.

The thickness of the lifting lugs is designed to withstand both bearing stress from the pin and shear stress at the edge of the hole, and must be greater than calculated minimum thicknesses.

DESIGN LOAD :-
Load to be lifted = P = 1 Kgs
Impact factor = I 1.6
Design Load = PxI = Pd = 1.6 Kgs

Load Per Lifting Lug :-


Pd1 = Pd/N = 0.8 Kgs

PIN FOR LIFTING LUG :-


Allowable shear stress :-
Fs = 0.4 x Fy = 9.8 Kg/mm²
Pd1 = (2 x pi x d² x Fs)/4
Therefore,
d = sqrt ((Pd1 x 4)/(2 x pi x Fs)) = 0.23 mm
Say, 20 mm
Hole dia provided in lug :- 50 mm

THICKNESS OF LIFTING LUGS


a) For bearing
d x S x Fb = Pd1
where d = 30 mm ( pin dia )
Fb = 0.66 x Fy = 16.1502 Kg/mm²

Asuming smaller permissible dia of pin = 20 mm


t = Pd1 / (d x Fb) = 0.00 mm

Thickness of provided Lug = 16 mm


Provided thickness is greater than required hence, Design is Safe

b) For shear
Distance from top point of lug to the centre of hole R = 30 mm

Dia of hole provided, D = 50 mm

Actual edge distance available - K


K = R - D/2 = 5 mm

Thickness of Lug = Pd1/ (Fs x 2 K) = 0.01 mm


Provided thickness is greater than required hence, Design is Safe

c) Design of weld joint between Lug and Pad

Length of weld = (2 x a) + (2 x b)

where, a is the width of lug = 80 mm


b is the thickness of lug = 16 mm
Length of weld (Lw) = 192 mm
Size of fillet Sf = 6 mm
Throat Dimension = 0.707 x Sf = 4.24 mm

Weldment Area (Aw) = Throat dimension x Length of weld (Lw)


= 814.464 sq mm

Stress = Pd1 / Aw = 0.00 Kg/mm²

Allowable stress (weld joint)


= 0.49 x Fy = 11.9903 Kg/mm²

Since allowable stress 11.9903 Kg/mm² > stress 0.00 Kg/mm²

Actual Stress is less than allowable stress hence, Design is Safe

d) Design of weld joint between Pad and Shell

Length of Weld (Lw) = (2 x ap) + (2 x bp)


Where, ap - Length of pad = 150 mm
bp - Width of pad = 50 mm
Therefore,
Lw2 = 400 mm
Size of fillet 6 mm
Throat dimension = 0.707 x size of filet = 4.24 mm

Weldment area (Aw2)


= Throat dimension x Length of weld (Lw2) 1696.8 sq mm

Stress = Pd1 / Aw2 = 0.00 Kg/mm²


Allowable stress = 11.9903 Kg/mm²

Actual Stress is less than allowable stress hence, Design is Safe

e) Check for bending of Lugs

Angle bet rope & vertical theta = 15 °

Pull in Ropes = Pd1 / cos ( theta ) = 0.83 Kg


Distance from bottom of lug to centre line of lug pin = 50 mm

Pull in rope X Distance from bottom of lug to centre line of lug pin
= 41.41105 Kg mm
Section modulous Z = (S x B²) / 6 = 17066.67 mm³
Maximum bending stress in lug = M / Z = 0.00 Kg/mm²
Allowable bending stress = 0.66 x Fy = 16.15 Kg/mm²

Maximum bending stress is less than allowable bending stress hence, Design is Safe
