Strength calculation of Lifting eye

All ships have lifting eye provided for lifting motors, their parts, and other equipments. The following procedure describes how to verify the strength of the lifting eye Design load (P) = Safe Working Load (SWL) x Dynamic coefficient (Dynamic coefficient is taken as 1.3. recommended by Classification society rules) Allowable stress

Tensile stress, a = Yield limit / (1.5 k) = 235 1 / (1.5 k) Shear stress, a = a / 3 = 235 1 / (1.5 k x 3 ) where k = 0.85 (mild steel) and 1.0 for high tensile steel, and 1 = 1.0 (mild steel), 1.08 (AH27), 1.28 (AH32), 1.35 (AH34), 1.39 (AH36), 1.43 (AH40)

Required section area for shear stress, Ars For shear stress the area shown by the hatch on the righ section is applicable. Ars = P / a = 1.3 x SWL / (235 1 / (1.5 k x 3 )) = (3.38 x k x SWL) / 235 1 Actual section area for shear stress, Aas Aas = b x t (as shown in the shaded area on the right section)

Required section for tensile stress, Art For tensile stress, the area is shown by two shaded hatch on the lower part is applicable. Art = P / a = 1.3 x SWL / ( 235 1 / (1.5 k)) = (1.95 x k x SWL) / 235 1 Actual section area for tensile stress, Aat Aat = 2 x b x t (as shown by two shaded hatch on the lower drawing)

Evaluation
