Tailing Lug

The document provides calculations to determine if a tailing lug of specified dimensions can safely lift and support a load of 384 lbs. It calculates the shear, bearing, bending and weld stresses on the lug and finds them to be less than the allowable stresses, confirming the design is safe. It also calculates the shear stress on a connecting link rod and finds it to be less than the allowable, showing the link rod size is sufficient.

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
