Lifting hooks are the components which are generally used to elevate the heavy load in industries and constructional sites. It is the member used for lifting the heavy mass using wire ropes and crane. The main objective of this paper is to establish a methodology to design and stress analysis of a lifting hook using stress distribution and changing the cross sections where the stress is minimum. A survey of literature for this subject has shown that, various CAD and FEA software used for modeling and analysis of a hook. The lifting hook is given by company and prepared the model in in pro-e wildfire 5.0 and analysis done in Ansys14. Using FEM, weight optimization done in ansys and remove the material where the stress is minimum. For Weight Optimization Of Lifting Hook, MATLAB software is used for Genetic Algorithm and Prepare a new Model According to Optimization And Analysis done in Ansys 14.0 for 1.5 tonne load.
