All ships have lifting eye provided for lifting motors, their parts, and other
equipments. The following procedure describes how to verify the strength of the
lifting eye
Design load (P) = Safe Working Load (SWL) x Dynamic coefficient (Dynamic
coefficient is taken as 1.3. recommended by Classification society rules)
Allowable stress
Tensile stress, a = Yield limit / (1.5 k) = 235 1 / (1.5 k)
Shear stress, a = a / 3 = 235 1 / (1.5 k x 3 )
where k = 0.85 (mild steel) and 1.0 for high tensile steel, and 1 = 1.0 (mild steel),
1.08 (AH27), 1.28 (AH32), 1.35 (AH34), 1.39 (AH36), 1.43 (AH40)

Required section area for shear stress, Ars

For shear stress the area shown by the hatch on the righ section is applicable.

Ars = P / a = 1.3 x SWL / (235 1 / (1.5 k x 3 )) = (3.38 x k x SWL) / 235 1

Actual section area for shear stress, Aas
Aas = b x t (as shown in the shaded area on the right section)

Required section for tensile stress, Art

For tensile stress, the area is shown by two shaded hatch on the lower part is
applicable.
Art = P / a = 1.3 x SWL / ( 235 1 / (1.5 k)) = (1.95 x k x SWL) / 235 1
Actual section area for tensile stress, Aat
Aat = 2 x b x t (as shown by two shaded hatch on the lower drawing)

Evaluation
Aas Ars (satisfies shear stress requirement )and
Aat Art (satisfies tensile stress requirement)
AAA
