CALCULATION OF STRESSES ON LUG PLATE

Notation Description Formula Value Unit
Tensile stress = IW' / (( bw - H) x tl) 78.422 MPa
Ts
Stress ratio = Ts/Slt 0.527
As the stress ratio is less than 1 hence lug is OK in tension check
Shear stress = W' / ( bI x tl) 17.658 MPa
Ss
Stress ratio = Ss/Sls 0.178
As the stress ratio is less than 1 hence lug is OK in shear check
M Bending moment = W' x La 15450750 N-mm
Z Section modulus = ( tl x bl ) / 6 520833 mm
Sb Bending stress =M/Z 29.665 MPa
Stress ratio = Sb/Slb 0.181
As the stress ratio is less than 1 hence lug is OK in bending check
Bearing stress = lW' / ( H x tl) 84.957 MPa
Bs
Stress ratio = Bs/Slb1 0.4567580645
As the stress ratio is less than 1 hence lug is OK in bearing check

Combined ratio = (Actual bending = [(6*{(Is + H/2)/8}*IW')/(t1*(Is-

Cr stress/allowable bending stress)+ H/2)2*0.66*Sy)]+[lW' / {2 * (( ls - 0.545
(actual bearing stress/allowable
bearing stress) H/2) x tl)*0.75*Sy}]

As the stress ratio is less than 1 hence lug is OK in combined ratio check
Shearing of weld = IW' / [ ( b x w' x 0.707 ) ] 60.083 MPa
SSw
Stress ratio = SSw/Swl 0.606
As the stress ratio is less than 1 hence weld is OK in shear check

CONCLUSION :
1) FROM ABOVE CALCULATIONS IT IS CONCLUDED THAT THE DESIGN OF LIFTING LUG IS SAFE.
