Lifting Lug Load Capacity Vs Crack Length Calculation

1 Lifting Lug Load Capacity Vs Crack length Calculation
Sample Calculation
Thickness of Lug (t) = 20 mm
Width of Lug (W) = 200 mm
Radius of Circular Section (R) = 100 mm
Diameter of Hole ( Dh) = 60 mm
Diameter of Pin ( Dp) = 57 mm
Distance from centre of hole to Welding (h)= 100 mm
Area of Cross Section = 20 x 200 = 4000
Length of Crack ( a ) = 4.5 mm
Distance from centre of hole to edge of crack = (Dh / 2 + a) =
Temperature (T) = 15 oC
Fracture Toughness ( k1c) = (60 + 0.2 T) Mpa. Sqrt(m)
For -140 < T < 150
K1c = 63 oC
Check For Geometry

We =R- Dh/2 = 100 - 60/ 2 = 70 mm
We =R- Dh/2 = 100 - 60/ 2 = 70 mm
We =R- Dh/2 = 100 - 60/ 2 = 70 mm
By Yeild Theory
Yeild Strength of Plate = 345 MPa
Effective width of plate = 200 - 60- 2 x4.5 = 131
Tensile Load capacity = 0.9 x 345 x 131 x 20/1000 =
By Fracture Theory
K1c = Fd . s. Sqrt( p. a)
Fd = 0.5 x (3 - d) [ 1 + 1.243 x (1 - d)3 ]
Where, d= a / (Dh / 2 + a)
d= 4.5 / (60/ 2 + 4.5) = 0.13
Fd = 0.5 x (3 -0.13) [ 1 + 1.243 x (1 -0.13)^3 ]

= 2.61
s= Load (P) = P / 4000 = 0.0003

Area
K1c = Fd . s . Sqrt( p . a)
63 = 2.61 x 0.00025P x sqrt(3.1416 x 0.0045)

What are the two main theories used to calculate lifting lug load capacity?

1 Lifting Lug Load Capacity Vs Crack length Calculation

Check For Geometry

Fd = 0.5 x (3 -0.13) [ 1 + 1.243 x (1 -0.13)^3 ]

s= Load (P) = P / 4000 = 0.0003

Temp = 30 Degree Celcius Fracture Theory

Temp = 15 Degree Celcius Fracture Theory

Temp = -15 Degree Celcius Fracture Theory

Temp = -30 Degree Celcius Fracture Theory

Temp = -45 Degree Celcius Fracture Theory

> Dh/4 ; Hence OK

Mpa. Sqrt(m) (60 for Steel WT Caterary 4)

> Dh/2 ; Hence OK

Crack Lenth (a) Vs Tensile Load (P)

1000 Load (P) (kN) -

Crack Length (a) VS Lug Capacity (kN) for 15 oC

Crack Length (a) VS Lug Capacity (kN) for 0 oC

1000 Load (P) (kN) -

Crack Length (a) VS Lug Capacity (kN) for -15 oC

Crack Length (a) VS Lug Capacity (kN) for -30 oC

Crack Length (a) VS Lug Capacity (kN) for -45 oC

1400 Temp = 30 Degree

200 Temp = -45 Degree

Check For Geometry

Fd = 0.5 x (3 -0.13) [ 1 + 1.243 x (1 -0.13)^3 ]

s= Load (P) = P / 4000 = 0.0003

Temp = 30 Degree Celcius Fracture Theory

Temp = 15 Degree Celcius Fracture Theory

Temp = -15 Degree Celcius Fracture Theory

Temp = -30 Degree Celcius Fracture Theory

Temp = -45 Degree Celcius Fracture Theory

> Dh/4 ; Hence OK

Mpa. Sqrt(m) (40 for Steel W 350)

> Dh/2 ; Hence OK

Crack Lenth (a) Vs Tensile Load (P)

Crack Length (a) VS Lug Capacity (kN) for 15 oC

Crack Length (a) VS Lug Capacity (kN) for 0 oC

Crack Length (a) VS Lug Capacity (kN) for -15 oC

Crack Length (a) VS Lug Capacity (kN) for -30 oC

Crack Length (a) VS Lug Capacity (kN) for -45 oC

800 Temp = 15 Degree
