Finite Element Model Establishment and Strength Analysis of Crane Boom

Abstract

: This paper is devoted to the strength analysis of crane boom with Ansys software. The results of strength analysis and theoretical calculation are compared and analyzed, and a method of using software to analyze the strength of crane boom is discussed. Firstly, using SolidWorks software, the three-dimensional model of each jib of the main arm of heavy crane is established by means of shell pulling, which is saved in x-t format. Secondly, the three-dimensional model is imported into Ansys software, and the finite element model of heavy crane boom is established by assigning attributes and meshing. Thirdly, the crane boom priority model is constrained and loaded, and the static simulation is carried out. Finally, the simulation results and theoretical results are compared and analyzed to verify the accuracy of the model (SINGH B, et.al, 2011; TOMASZ G, et.al, 2011).
