Thickness of Lug (t) = 20 mm
Width of Lug (W) = 200 mm
Radius of Circular Section (R) = 100 mm
Diameter of Hole ( D h) = 60 mmDiameter of Pin ( Dp) = 57 mm
Distance from centre of hole to Welding (h)= 100 mm
Area of Cross Section = 20 x 200 = 4000
Length of Crack ( a ) = 4.5 mm
Distance from centre of hole to edge of crack = (D h / 2 + a) =
Temperature (T) = 15 oC
Fracture Toughness ( k1c) = (60 + 0.2 T) Mpa. Sqrt(

We =R- D h/2 = 100 - 60/ 2 = 70 mm
We =R- D h/2 = 100 - 60/ 2 = 70 mm
We =R- D h/2 = 100 - 60/ 2 = 70 mm
By Yeild Theory
Yeild Strength of Plate = 345 MPa
Effective width of plate = 200 - 60- 2 x4.5 = 131
Tensile Load capacity = 0.9 x 345 x 131 x 20/1000 =
By Fracture Theory
K1c = Fd. s. Sqrt(p. a)
Fd = 0.5 x (3 - d) [ 1 + 1.243 x (1 - d)]
Where, d = a / (D h/ 2 + a)
d = 4.5 / (60/ 2 + 4.5) = 0.13
Fd = 0.5 x (3 -0.13) [ 1 + 1.243 x (1 -0.13)^3 ]
= 2.61
s = Load (P) = P / 4000 = 0.0003
Area
K1c = Fd. s . Sqrt( . a)
63 = 2.61 x 0.00025P x sqrt(3.1416 x 0.0045)
