Abstract:Lifting padeyes are widely used in the construction of offshore structures and ships. It has been shown that the traditional check method cannot reflect the realistic value and distribution of actual stress on the padeyes. A more accurate method for the padeye stress calculation is essential and important for promoting the safety of the padeyes. In this paper, a new check formula is proposed based on the analysis of deformation and external loads distribution on lifting padeyes. The results of finite element method and the solutions of traditional check formula and new check formula are compared. It is shown that, by applying the stress check formula derived in the paper, the value and the location of the dangerous stresses occurred can be evaluated easily and exactly. The safe reliability of structure design can be improved significantly.
