Lifting (Carbon Vessel)

This document analyzes the strength of welds used on lifting lugs for lifting equipment. It calculates bending, shear, and combined stresses on welds connecting a lifting lug to a pad and lug pad to a shell. For both welds, it determines the required weld size to withstand the combined stresses and confirms the provided weld size is sufficient.

LIFTING LUG ANALYSIS


(as per bednar ex.10.5 page-275)

STRENGTH OF WELD (LIFTING LUG TO PAD) :

FILLET LEG SIZE (WFp) = 12 mm


TOTAL WELD LENGTH (Wl) = 240 mm
LINEAR SECT.MOD.(Z)=2*a^2/6 = 4800.00 mm2

UNIT FORCES DUE TO CIRCUMFERENTIAL FORCES


BENDING(f1) = Pc*h/Z = 650.03 N/mm
SHEAR (f2) = Pc/Wl = 100.00 N/mm
UNIT FORCES DUE TO RADIAL FORCES
SHEAR (f3) = Pr/Wl = 26.80 N/mm

REQUIRED WELD SIZE DUE TO COMBINED LOAD


f = sqrt[(f1+f2)^2+f3^2] = 750.51 N/mm

WELD EFFICIENCY = 0.7 (E)


WELD STRENGTH, fw = Sa.E = 100.80 N/mm2 (Sw)
LEG SIZE (WFc)= f/fw = 7.45 mm
AS WFp>WFc, PROVIDED WELD FILLET SIZE IS SUFFICIENT
( GROOVE + 4 FILLET WILL BE PROVIDED. )

STRENGTH OF WELD (LIFTING LUG PAD TO SHELL) :


FILLET ELD THROAT L1 = 8.485 mm
FILLET LEG SIZE (WFp) = 12 mm
TOTAL WELD LENGTH (Wl) = 400 mm
LINEAR SECT.MOD.(Z)=2*l^2/6 = 7500.00 mm2

UNIT FORCES DUE TO CIRCUMFERENTIAL FORCES


BENDING(f1) = Pc*(h+t)/Z = 454.42 N/mm
SHEAR (f2) = Pc/Wl = 60.00 N/mm
UNIT FORCES DUE TO RADIAL FORCES
SHEAR (f3) = Pr/Wl = 16.08 N/mm

REQUIRED WELD SIZE DUE TO COMBINED LOAD


f = sqrt[(f1+f2)^2+f3^2] = 514.67 N/mm

WELD EFFICIENCY = 0.55


WELD STRENGTH, fw = Sa.E = 79.20 N/mm2
LEG SIZE (WFc)= f/fw = 6.50 mm
AS WFp>WFc, PROVIDED WELD FILLET SIZE IS SUFFICIENT
