1.0 Introduction
The purpose of this calculation is to document the design of a padeye. This spreadsheet was developed primarily to satisfy the
requirements of Reference 1, Edwin P Russo and Rudolph A Hall, " Systematic Approach to Lifting Eye Design"
1.1 Applied Loading
The lifting loads were determined from a lift analysis which considered a load factor of 2.0 applied to the structure gravity loads,
in order to determine the design load to be used for the padeye design.

thickness at the pinhole or 1.6 times the hole diameter.

UC4 = 0.326 OK
Combined Stress
The axial stress due to uniform tension along a section is given by:
fa = P sinb / TP h
The elemental bending stress which is linearly distributed along the section B-B may be expressed as:
fb = 12PC (b cosb - 0.5 h sinb + R sinb) / TP h2
where C represents the distance of an element from the neutral axis. For Section A-A, b should be replaced by c in
the above equation.
The shearing stress varies parabolically along the length of the padeye and is given as:
fV = 1.5P cosb (1 - 4C2) / TP h
The maximum principal stress that exists on an element is given by:
fmax = ((fa + fb)/2) + [((fa + fb)/2)2 + fv2]1/2
and the maximum principal shear stress on an element is given by:
fmax = [((fa + fb)/2)2 + fv2]1/2

Out-of Plane Bending

Check out-of plane bending at section A-A, which is the worst case scenario, ignoring the gusset plates. In addition as the
padeyes are aligned with the slings, take a minimum load of 5% of the total applied load. Note that this out of plane stress
is combined with the inplane bending stress and tensile stress calculated above.
Out-of-plane load PL = 3.6 kips (P / 20)

Lever arm, c = 3.9 in
Bending moment, M = 14.2 in-kips (PL c)
Section modulus S = 2.5 in3 (1/6 hT2p)
Out-of-plane bending stress = 5.8 ksi (M / S)
Allowable = 27.0 ksi (0.75 Fy)
Out-of-plane bending stress / allowable = 0.21 OK
Maximum tensile stress = 4.2 ksi

Tensile stress / allowable = 0.20 OK
Maximum in-plane bending stress = 0.0 ksi

In-plane bending stress / allowable = 0.00 OK
Sum of ratios = 0.41 OK
For out-of-plane bending at the B-B axis, the out-of-plane bending moment is reduced by the ratio of the lever arms and
therefore, is not critical. Consequently, no analysis of this section is required.
