CALCULATION OF STRESSES ON LUG PLATE

Notation Description Formula Value Unit
Ts Tensile stress = W' / (( bw - H) x tl) 7.084 MPa
Stress ratio = T s/Slt 0.047
As the stress ratio is less than 1 hence lug is OK in tensile check
Ss Shear stress = W' / ( bI x tl) 4.840 MPa
Stress ratio = Ss/Sls 0.043
As the stress ratio is less than 1 hence lug is OK in shear check
M Bending moment = W' x La 993263 N-mm
3
Z Section modulus = ( t l x b l² ) / 6 45600 mm
Sb Bending stress =M/Z 21.782 MPa
Stress ratio = Sb/Slb 0.132
As the stress ratio is less than 1 hence lug is OK in bending check
Bs Bearing stress = W' / ( H x tl) 15.286 MPa
Stress ratio = Bs/Slb1 0.082
As the stress ratio is less than 1 hence lug is OK in bearing check
Combined ratio=(Actual bending = [(6*{(I + H/2)/8}*W')/(t *(I -
s 1 s
stress/allowable bending stress) + 2
Cr H/2) *0.66*Sy)]+[W' / {2 * (( ls - 0.152
(actual bearing stress/allowable
bearing stress) H/2) x tl)*0.8*Sy}]

As the stress ratio is less than 1 hence lug is OK in combined ratio check
SSw Stress ratio - shearing of weld = W' / [ ( b x w' x 0.707 ) ] 10.840 MPa
Stress ratio = SSw/Swl 0.108
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.
