Finite Element Analysis and Test Verification of Casting Cranes
Taking a 320 t casting crane as the object of analysis,a finite element model is constructed,and the maximum stress and the location of maximum stress are calculated according to the actual working conditions in the field.After that,the calculated data of full load working condition in the span are compared with the measured data in the field to verify the reasonableness of the model and evaluate the structural stiffness and section strength under this working condition.After analysis,it is concluded that the maximum value of stress is located at the edge of the arc plate at the span end of the main girder,and the static stiffness of the main girder and the strength of the cross-section at mid-span under full load condition are qualified.
