The Study of Modeling Methods Based on Applied Mechanics for Sling of Tower Crane with ADAMS

Abstract:

Along with the rapid development of construction industry, tower crane becomes the indispensable machine in building trade. Using a simple and effective modeling method for sling is a crucial step in the analysis of tower crane. The 6 different models for sling of the tower crane were established by using the finite segment method of ADAMS in this paper, and the simulation of the sling based on applied mechanics was done. The conclusion was drew that in the modeling of sling, a rigid rod can substitute for sling, in the case that the resistance and axial stretching deformation of the sling were neglected. So a simple modeling method was given for sling of tower crane in a special case.
