Lifting Lug With Angular Load
Lifting Lug With Angular Load
(OP)
I'm looking for some material that goes over lifting lug calculations. I have ASME BTH-1, although the material only covers if the load is perpendicular to the radius of the lug. My application has the load applied at an angle between 0 deg and 90 deg (covered in ASME BTH-1).
Can anyone point me to some good reference on this.
I've added a sketch to show my application. Just a bit of variation from the ASME BTH-1 analysis.

Good references to start with might be your old Engineering Mechanics, Strength of Materials or Machine Design Text books and then a good book on welding design might help too. Then, reread your verbal description and imagine how many possible sketches could be drawn which would generally fit your description. Remember, we can’t see it from here, so if you want people to really understand what you are talking about you might furnish a well proportioned sketch with some sizes, thicknesses, dimensions, loads, etc. Draw a few free body diagrams of the detail and show them too, so we know how you are approaching the problem. The codes and standards are not intended to cover every imaginable detail in the universe. Sometimes good sound engineering knowledge and judgement must be brought into play.

You're showing one of the best options, but even it has restrictions at certain angles.
