A "critical lift" is defined as any non-routine crane lift requiring detailed planning and additional or unusual safety precautions. Critical lifts include: lifts made where the load weight is greater than 75% of the rated capacity of the crane; lifts which require load to be lifted, swung or placed out of the operator's view; lifts made with more than one crane; lifts involving non-routine/technically difficult rigging arrangement; hoisting personnel with a crane or derrick; or any lift which the crane operator believes should be critical.

The calculated factors of safety are all greater than one, with the lowest being the M16 hoist ring at the
top of the 4-pt beam, with FOS ~ 1.9

Lifting Beam FEA:
Boundary Conditions: Fixed Support at Hoist Ring Pick Point, 1,699 lbf load normal to each of the hoist
ring landing faces to simulate the spectrograph + rigging load

Total deformation of 8.4mm at corners as seen in Figure 4 below

Maximum equivalent stress is shown next, with maximum stress shown where the square beam meets with plate that the M16 hoist ring picks from.

Figure 5: Max Equivalent Stress
Mesh refinement study showed that this maximum stress exhibits singularity behavior cannot be accurately evaluated through mesh refinement, however since the material is linear-elastic, equivalent stress is plotted along the load path as seen in Figure 6.

Figure 6: Equivalent stress plotted along load path
Equivalent stress results are extracted and plotted in Excel. Fitting a line to the data prior to the elbow and reading the y-intercept yields the real stress at this location.
Figure 7: Linearized Stress along load path to maximum
As Figure 7 indicates, the maximum stress is 37.1 MPa at this location. In reality, this location has a fillet weld. Shigley suggests a permissilbe tensile stress in a butt weld as 0.60*YieldStrength, this strength de-rating will be applied here

despite the fact the this is a fillet weld (however it is in tension, hence the use of Shigley’s guideline). The persmissible stress is then 213 MPa. The 4-pt lifting beam has a factor of safety equal to 5.7 against material yield strength and 13.2 against material failure. LBNL PUB3000 requirements indicate a factor of safety > 5 against material ultimate strength, thus the fixture design meets LBNL requirements. The 4pt lifting beam is load rated to 1984 lbs. It has been load test to slightly more than 2X this weight, 4210 lbs. Please note that during this test, the M16 hoist ring on the top of the 4pt beam lifting fixture experienced a load condition that exceeds its rated load. Both this hoist ring and its mating bolt are being replaced with new hardware.
