摘要：Crane hooks are designed to connect with chains and ropes attached to point loads like constructionbeams, and machinery. The basic function of it is to lift the load, to carry it and to transfer it from one place to another.Sometimes an accident may occur due to stress concentration factor in it so stress analysis is necessary before making itapplicable. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is the most powerful technique for strength calculations of the any structuresworking under known load and boundary conditions. FEA approach can be applied for the optimization. 3D model of acrane hook will be drawn in CATIA V5 R19, Meshing will be carried out in Hypermesh, and Ansys will be used forpost-processing. FE Analysis will be carried out on the existing crane hook. Based on those FEA results topologicalchanges will be made to reduce weight andstress concentration.Variousparameters of hook will be changed andanalysed for optimum design.If necessary different cross sections of hook such as circular section, T-section,rectangular section etc. will be analysed to find better results FEA results of the existing crane hook will be comparedwith the FEA results of the optimized crane hook. After getting satisfied results a prototype will be fabricated andtested. The two results i.e. FEA and experimental results will be validated.
