In this study, 3D modelling of a lifting hook that has 40 kN lifting capacity specified in DIN 15400 and DIN 15401 standards and stress analyses of lifting hook model by using boundary conditions have been performed. Critical points have been determined based on stress analysis results. After critical points are determined curved beam theory is used to calculate stresses on critical points of lifting hook. An illustrative example has been given to compare the stress results obtained by curved beam theory and finite element simulations. </span> </span> <br /> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Erzincan Binali Yildirim University}
