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 chapter discusses the simulation of thermal operating conditions and the optimization of the design of solar photovoltaic thermal modules. As a realization of the developed method, two photovoltaic thermal modules with one-sided solar cells with one-sided heat removal and two-sided solar cells with two-sided heat removal are presented. The components of the developed models of solar modules must be optimized on the basis of the required indicators of the thermal mode of operation of the modules. For this task, a method has been developed for visualizing thermal processes using the Ansys system of finite element analysis, which has been used to research thermal modes of operation and to optimize the design of the modules created. With the help of the developed method, the temperature fields of the module components, coolant velocity and its flow lines in the developed models of a planar photovoltaic thermal roofing panel and a concentrator photovoltaic thermal two-sided module are visualized.

The Finite Element Model

The finite element model of the concrete mixing truck’s frame is builded by using shell as basic element, and the process of building the finite element model of the balance suspension is introduced in detail. Based on this, frame’s stress on five types of typical operating conditions are calculated by using the finite element analysis software, NASTRAN, and results can show the dangerous position and the maximum stress position on the frame. The analysis result on structural strength can provide the basis for further improving the frame 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.

Bolted connections are largely employed in various types of engineering structures to transfer loads from one member to another. In particular, the off-shore industry has made extensive use of these connections, predominantly at the sub-sea level. In spite of their advantages, bolted joints are critical regions and may become sources of structural weakness due to large stress concentrations. Under severe operating conditions, micro-cracks can develop in the bolt, creating regions of elevated stress which may significantly reduce the integrity of the connection and ultimately lead to failure. This paper presents the three-dimensional finite element analysis of a steel locked bolt assembly aimed to assess the effect of micro-cracks on the structural integrity of the assembly using the commercial finite element package ANSYS. Non-linear contact between the bolt and nut threads is considered, where frictional sliding between components is allowed. A bi-linear isotropic hardening model is used to account for non-linear material behavior. The assembly is loaded by applying a pre-load of fifty percent of the yield stress of the material, according to the API-6A Norm. Two geometric models are investigated: a healthy locked bolt assembly with no initial cracks; and a damaged model, where a circular crack is introduced at the root of the bolt threads. The effect of the crack size is studied by modeling the crack with three different radius sizes. The J-Integral fracture mechanics methodology was used to study the stress concentrations in the damaged model.

Assessment Approach

Stability of a gantry crane was a challenge in its structure design. A new risk-based stability assessment approach was proposed in this paper. Analytical method was introduced firstly, and then finite element method was adopted to evaluate the stability of square bar. In order to verify the finite element models, results of buckling analysis were compared with the results of analytical method. Secondly, this finite element analysis was applied in stability assessment of a gantry crane, and through parameterized analysis risk elements were identified. Finally, risk-based stability assessment was applied to this gantry crane, and neural network algorithm was adopted to evaluate the risk elements which were defined by finite element analysis. The evaluating results were well consistetent with statistical data, which indicated this risk-based stability assessment approach was reliable which showed a potential in engineering application.

Due to business development, a Shipyard Co., Ltd. in Guangdong planned to remould a double girder gantry crane of MG32/10-37A5 (32t-37m) into a type of 20t-37m and to heighten 6m lifting height of structure. A Cranes Machinery Co., LTD. in Guangzhou undertook this job. After the completion of transformation for the crane, the serious laterodeviations of the crane were found in operational process, which affected its safety use. This paper used a finite ANSYS to perform the modal analysis of the crane before and after reconstruction. The results show that the dynamic stiffness of the remoulded crane was reduced obviously. For the reason, the four reinforcement schemes of the crane were put forward by the Cranes Machinery Co., LTD.. This study again performed the model analysis for the schemes and selected an optimal one by calculation, analysis and contrast, which has successfully solved the above problem. The present results can provide a reference for solving similar problems in the future.

A new steel special-shaped lattice column (SSLC) was proposed, which can be used in prefabricated steel structure residence. The finite element models of four SSLC with different cross-section (L-shaped, T1-shaped, T2-shaped and X-shaped) were established under cyclic loading by using ABAQUS, in which the strength, lateral resist capacity and hysteretic behavior were analyzed. The results indicate that SSLC has adequate strength, stiffness and safety redundancy. Among the four SSLC, the SSLC with X-shaped has the best structural performance and seismic behavior.
