Failure analysis consisted of careful visual observation of the crane hook. The location of failure was pinpointed by juxtaposing failed and the unused crane
Etched microstructure of failed hook reveals coarse cast structure having inhomogeneous microstructure with a mixture of ferrite and pearlite (which meant lower
It was evident, therefore that a fissure was formed during the manufacture of the hook and had not developed in service. The failure was associated with a
Laminated Crane Hooks are a little more complex, and are comprised of several steel plates riveted together to ensure higher stress resistance and increased
cross section, the design and drafting of crane hook will be prepared by using ANSYS 14.5. By finite element analysis, the stress which is to be formed in.
