Stress & strain analysis of mobile tower crane (luffing jib) using finite element method

摘要

In present scenario, infrastructure is a basic need for the development of any country. The tower crane plays a vital role in the infrastructure field. The failure of the tower crane may be occur during loading & unloading due to failure of, its design. Tower crane are use to lift and carry heavy materials. This study focus on the prevention of crane damage which occur due to heavy load. In this study, by using the SOLID WORKS-12 software the crane parts material which is made by plain carbon steel is modeled one-by-one, with specific dimensions. Afterwards the stress distribution analysis & the deformation analysis are done by SOLID WORKS-12 software. As the conclusion the safe design of mobile tower crane for 900 at a load of 800 kg on a different length of jib is recommended.
