Abstract

Industrial companies, manufacturing factories use chains as the basic equipment to carry the raw material, move equipment one location to another for process. Ships use theses chains link or slings for lifting loads. Bigger link chains are as anchor chains. In this study, 3D modelling and FE analysis were performed taking the two models of a link chain, one non-welded model and another welded model. The static study on these models is done at different load conditions. The stress- strain concentrations and the deflection of the models on loading is observed. This study gives the stress-strain concentration patterns on the model on different loads and observe the locations where the minimum and maximum concentration occurs and where the maximum and minimum deformations take are observed on applying different load conditions. In this paper, we study the stress- strain concentrations, deflection on different load conditions on both non-welded and welded models of a link chain specimen.
