A Study on the Stability of a Mast Structure for Erecting a Large Crane

Abstract:

This paper describes a finite element structural analysis model and determines analysis methods appropriate for determining the stability of the mast of a crane. This analysis model allows various analysis approaches to be applied to the conditions affecting the construction of a large gantry crane in order to ensure the stability of the mast of the crane. The finite element method is used as a way to construct an analytical model that can help ensure the stability of the mast in two stages. The model is used in a two-stage analytical process that takes into account the conditions of the model. In this way, the model can be used to judge the stability of the mast. By allowing variation in the analysis approach used for the crane mast, the analysis model may be changed if the conditions of the one-girder gantry crane require. Designers may apply this method for the active analysis of the stability of a crane mast.
