Analysis Of Contact Stresses For Crane Hook Assembly Under Plasticity Condition For Different Materials Using Finite Element Method

Abstract

In  the  industrial  processes  Crane  Hook  is  used as  lifting  member.  Crane Hooks are highly liable components and are always subjected to failure due to accumulation of large amount of stresses which can eventually lead to its failure. Real time pattern of stress concentration in 3D models of crane hook is obtained of different cross section (circular, trapezoidal).           In the present study we assessed the contact frictional stresses for maximum load and under the plasticity of conditions of two different materials for different cross sections. The 3Dmodels were developed in solid works and the predicting of contact stresses were done in ANSYS Workbench module of 16.0 versions. By using above availabilities analyzed the contact stresses for circular and trapezoidal cross section for different materials in it trapezoidal cross-section and the structural steel is the best material comparatively to cast iron. .
