ABSTRACT
Crane Hooks are highly liable components and are always subjected to failure
due to the amount of stresses concentration which can eventually lead to its
failure. To study the stress pattern of crane hook in its loaded condition, a
solid model of crane hook is prepared with the help of solid works or Pro-E
software. Real time pattern of stress concentration in 3D model of crane hook
is obtained. By predicting the stress concentration area, the shape of the crane
is modified to increase its working life and reduce the failure rates. Hooks are
employed in heavy industries to carry tonnes of loads safely. These hooks have
a big role to play as far as the safety of the crane loaded is concerned. With
more and more industrialization the rate at which these hooks are forged are
increasing. This work has been carried out on one of the major crane hook
carrying a larger load comparatively. The cad model of the crane hook is
initially prepared with the help of existing drawings. It is then followed by
implementation of modified cross section of hook in the static structural
analysis workbench of ANSYS. The selection was based on the satisfaction of
several factors in the form of load carrying capacity, stress induced and
deflection Stress analysis plays a significant role in the design of parts and
structures that must carry load. In this study, Crane hook which is one of
lifting eq
