Abstract:
The safety of crane hooks is of prime importance because they are used for lifting the load with the help of chains, links and cranes in most industries. Therefore, it should be designed such that it can withstand greater induced stresses to avoid failure. Keeping in view this important consideration, the research is selected. The main objective of this research is to identify the stress concentration areas of all the sections (types) of crane hook that are trapezoidal, rectangular and triangular crane hooks. Out of all these sections (types), the section (type) with minimum induced stress is selected. After that the shape of this section is modified (parametric optimization) to increase its working life and reduce the failure rates.
