Shackle Strength Analysis

   During my trainee term in RMK Marine, an asphalt tanker was being built. For lifting the blocks, shackles were welded on different sides of blocks. For used shackles on block, I used one of them for Ansys analiysis. It was modelled on solidworks then a mesh module was applied. The forced area was selected for pressure input. The regions, which are exposed to pressure mostly, are considered sensitively for meshing. The results were evaluated and no safety risk were found.
