Tailing Lug

The document calculates stresses on a tailing lug used to lift equipment weighing 4807 lbs. It determines the shear, bearing, and bending stresses on the lug, weld, and connecting link are below allowable values based on the material properties. The lug, weld size, and link rod diameter are sufficient to safely lift the half load of 2403.5 lbs under an impact factor of 1.5.

TAILING LUG CALCULATIONS

Erection weight of equipment We = 4807 lbs


No. of Lugs N = 1
Load to be lifted by lug (Half load of equipment) W = 2403.5 lbs
Impact Factor I = 1.5
Material of Lug = SA 240 316 L
Yield Stress of Lug Sy = 24657 psi

Dimensions of lug
Width w = 6 inch
Thickness t = 0.75 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 = 1201.75 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 = 2403.5 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 = 10815.75 lb-in
Section modulus at bending section = t.w2/6 Z = 4.5 in3
Bending stress = M/Z Sn = 2403.5 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 = 3605.25 lbs
Shear stress on weld = 100Ws/(2(w+t).fw) Sws = 71214.815 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 = 10815.75 lb-in
Combined section modulus of welds = fw(t*w+w2/3) Zw = 3.1875 in3
Bending stress in weld = Mw/Zw Swb = 3393.1765 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 = 2.5730429 in2
Shear load on link rod = W.I Ws = 3605.25 lbs
Shear stress Ss = 1401.162 psi
Allowable shear stress = 0.4Sy Ssa = 9862.8 psi

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