Calculate the safety factors for crane

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating safety factors for various components of a crane subjected to a force of 3000 dN. Key components include the crane hook (part No. 5), hook trunion (part No. 6), pulley pin (part No. 3), and side plate (part No. 1). Essential principles for these calculations include Hooke's Law, Von Mises stress criteria, and stress concentration factors, which can be referenced from Peterson's stress-concentration tables. The discussion emphasizes the need for a solid understanding of solid mechanics to approach these calculations effectively.

PREREQUISITES
  • Solid Mechanics principles
  • Hooke's Law
  • Von Mises stress criteria
  • Stress concentration factors from Peterson's tables
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the application of Hooke's Law in structural analysis
  • Learn about Von Mises stress and its relevance in material failure
  • Research stress concentration factors and their calculations
  • Explore practical examples of safety factor calculations in crane design
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, structural analysts, and students studying solid mechanics who are involved in crane design and safety assessments.

I can't solve this problem, can u ?
We have this crane hook which has a force F=3000dN pulling it down and we have to calculate a few designing elements look to the section and calculate the safety factors for:
1. the crane hook (part No. 5 )at the section A-A and B-B .
2. the hook trunion (part No. 6) at the section A-A and B-B .
3. the pulley pin (part No. 3)at the middle section .
4. the side plate (part No.1 ) the factor of safety on tension at the section A-A
and on bearing pressure at the lower hole.
This will help u:
figure of the parts No. part's name
2 1 side plate
2 2 pulley
2 3 pulley pin
1 4 nut lock pin
1 5 crane hook
1 6 hook trunion
6 7 hex. nut M76
1 8 castle nut M76
2 9 washer 76 *10
2 10 pin 4*25
All the lengths r in mm. and please show me the all the steps that u made.
THANK U FOR HELPING ME ANY WAY.

Did you ever study Solid Mechanics ?
I doubt someone here is going to calculate these problems for you, if somebody does then you're in luck of course. These are basic problems if they're theoretical, you need Hooke's Law, Von Misses and some basic stress equations plus the stress concentration for the holes which can be calculated or directly obtained from tables in books on the subject. Like Peterson's stress-concentration factors that FredGarvin suggested to me yesterday.

thank you
but my q is that i feel that these problem it self is wrong:rolleyes:
but i don't see where:confused:
