Calculation of Stress in Crane Hooks
Keyword(s):
Abstract Two methods for calculating stress in crane hooks which have given good results in practice are described. One method, based on a numerical integration of the curved-bar equations, involves only slide-rule accuracy and may be used for irregular shapes of cross section. The second or analytical method is based on an analysis of an equivalent trapezoidal section, and is applicable to hooks having sections which do not deviate too much from the trapezoidal form. Comparison of the results of the two methods when applied to actual crane hooks indicates that the more rapid analytical method is sufficiently accurate for most practical purposes.
