Design And Manufacture

Because of the huge lifting weight and complex structure of large-tonnage gantry crane and in order to effectively design and review it, this paper aims to carry out a research on its structural performance based on the method of theoretical calculation and finite element analysis. During the early period of design, the method of theoretical calculations is adopted, and after specific design it comes the finite element analysis, so as to get the results of analysis under a variety of operating conditions, which illustrates that the structural design and review of large-tonnage gantry crane based on theoretical calculations and finite element are feasible, and also verifies that the method of finite element is an effective way to find a real dangerous cross-section, thus providing the basis for the design and manufacture of the crane structure.

The Finite Element Analysis

Abstract In this paper, the finite element analysis of circular wedge connections is described, and conclusions for the performance of the connection are derived. In the foreground of the examinations are stresses and deformations while tightening of the connection. Starting with the general structural performance, the influences on power transmission like slope, number of wedges, coefficient of sliding friction and outer hub diameter are discussed. An analytic function to describe the gap pressure within the tightened joint is introduced and rates to explain the problem of centering of circular wedge connections are shown. Finally two concepts for dimensioning are presented and recommendations for application of this connection are given.
