Description: Design lifting lugs for a stack or vessel. The program is based
upon two (2) lugs located 180 degrees apart. A check of the shear,
bearing, bending, edge distances, and shackle clearance is made.
The program also checks the loads on the lugs for all angles of lift
from horizontal to vertical.
Sample Output: The following pages are the output from the LiftLug spreadsheet.
H= Lift Load with Stack in Horizontal Position (ea. Lug) 110,000 lbs
V= Lift load with Stack in Vertical Position (ea. Lug) 170,000 lbs
Phi = Lift Angle off of vertical (adds weak axis moment) 0 deg

Notes:
Aw = (hs+2*R)*2*0.707*tw 29.694 in^2
Ju = (hs+2*R)^3/6 3.6587E+03 in^3
Jw = Ju * tw * 0.707 1.9400E+03 in^4
Cw = ((hs/2)^2+R^2)^0.5 10.000 in
Theta = Atan(R/(hs/2)) 0.927 rads
Primary Shear Stress:
T1X = Primary Shear: Fx / Aw
T1y = Primary Shear: Fy / Aw
T2X = Secondary Shear: (Fx*(hl+hs/2)*Cw/Jw)*Sin(Theta)
T2Y = Secondary Shear: (Fx*(hl+hs/2)*Cw/Jw)*Cos(Theta)
Shackle Checks:
Rated Capacity 170,000 lbs
Maximum Load 170,000 lbs
--> Capacity Ok
