Lifting Lug Design and Calculation Guide

This document provides design data for lifting lugs including the total empty weight of the object, safety factor, number of lugs, lug dimensions, materials, and allowable stresses. It also defines formulas to calculate loads on the lugs from the total weight and determine stresses at critical points on the lugs and welds to ensure they do not exceed allowable values. Stresses considered include tension, bending, shear, and combined stresses which are each checked against stress criteria.

* DEFINITION OF ALLOWABLE STRESS
- Lug Yield Strength ya = kg/mm2
- Lug allowable stress
a = 0.6*ya = kg/mm2
- Pad Yield Strength yb = kg/mm2
- Pad allowable stress
ap = 0.6*yb = kg/mm2
- Allowable tension stress
t = smaller value of (1.5*a) or (0.6*ya) = kg/mm2
- Allowable bending stress
b = smaller value of (1.5*a) or (0.66*ya) = kg/mm2
- Allowable shear stress
s = 0.4*ya = kg/mm2
- Allowable weld stress
w = 0.49*t = kg/mm2
