I ran some analysis and saw that with the particular design solution (3+2 lug heads) is correct to assume that the central lug gets the 60% of the entire load applied in normal operating cases (without failure).
Hi, I found online a good picture:
There is a component like the one in the picture (3 lug heads) plus another one with only 2 lug heads. They are connected through a bolt.
Hi everybody,
I have a problem with a multiple shear lug (also called "finger type" on Niu's Airframe Stress Analysis and Sizing - page 323).
I have to make a quick check on the lugs, and I cannot find how the shear load is reacted in the lugs in no-failure and failure cases (which lug gets...
