You may use whichever units you wish but you must be consistent, e.g. do not mix units of length or
time (metric units are provided as an example):
F: force applied to shackle [N]
t: cheek plate thickness (each) [mm]
C: total clearance between cheeks and eyes [mm]
C: total clearance between pin and hole [mm]
: maximum allowable stress in the padeye plate [MPa]
E: modulus of elasticity for padeye and cheeks [MPa]
WJF: weld joint factor []
T: thickness of padeye plate [mm]
R: outside radius of padeye [mm]
C: clearance between padeye and mating shackle [mm]
T: weld thickness (or leg) [mm]
: pin hole diameter [mm]
: shackle pin diameter [mm]
w: shackle width in between eyes [mm]
: shackle eye outside diameter [mm]#
C: shackle throat clearance inside bow [mm]
: shackle bow section diameter [mm]
B: bearing stress (incl. cheeks) [MPa]
b: bending stress (excl. cheeks) [MPa]
t: tensile stress (excl. cheeks) [MPa]
: shear stress (excl. cheeks) [MPa]
#Outside diameter of cheek plates need be no larger than outside diameter of shackle eye
