TAILING LUG CALCULATIONS

Erection weight of equipment We = 768 lbs

No. of Lugs N = 1
Load to be lifted by lug (Half load of equipment) W = 384 lbs
Impact Factor I = 2
Material of Lug = SA 240 316 L
Yield Stress of Lug Sy = 24657 psi

Dimensions of lug
Width w = 6 inch
Thickness t = 0.393 inch
Diameter d = 2 inch
Radius of outer profile R = 3 inch
Height of CL of lug hole from channel cover OD h = 3 inch

Shear stress
Induced Shear Stress = WI/[2t(R-d/2)] Ss = 488.549618 psi
Allowable Shear Stress = 0.4Sy Ssa = 9862.8 psi

Since Ss<Sa,Design is safe for shear stress

Bearing Stress On Lug Hole

Bearing Stress = WI/(t.d) Sb = 977.099237 psi
Allowable shear stress = 0.9Sy Sba = 22191.3 psi

Since Sb < Sba, design is safe for bearing stress

Bending Stress on lug

Moment = W.I.h M = 2304 lb-in
Section modulus at bending section = t.w2/6 Z = 2.358 in3
Bending stress = M/Z Sn = 977.099237 psi
Allowable bending stress = 0.66 Sy Sna = 16273.62 psi

Since Sn < Sna, design is safe for bending stress

Weld Design
Weld size fw = 0.375 inch
Shear load on weld = W.I Ws = 768 lbs
Shear stress on weld = 100Ws/(2(w+t).fw) Sws = 16017.5192 psi
Allowable bending stress = 0.66Sy Ssa = 16273.62 psi

Since Sws < Sna, weld size is sufficient for shear stress

Bending stress in weld

Bending moment on weld = Ws.h Mw = 2304 lb-in
Combined section modulus of welds = fw(t*w+w2/3) Zw = 2.38425 in3
Bending stress in weld = Mw/Zw Swb = 966.341617 psi
Allowable bending stress = 0.66Sy Sna = 16273.62 psi

Since Swb < Sna, weld size is sufficient for bending stress

Shear stress in connecting link

Link rod diameter d = 1.81 inch
Cross-sectional area of link rod = π*d2/4 A = 2.57304292 in2
Shear load on link rod = W.I Ws = 768 lbs
Shear stress Ss = 298.47928 psi
Allowable shear stress = 0.4Sy Ssa = 9862.8 psi

Since Ss < Ssa, link rod size is sufficient for shear stress
