Dynamics model and dynamic simulation of overhead crane load swing systems based on the ADAMS

Abstract

According to dynamics computation model of the overhead crane, analyse the load swing when the small trolley is moving, and obtain the swing kinematics equation of the load. Further, carry out the computer dynamic simulation with the 32t double beams overhead crane as an instance whose results verify the swing kinematics equation and represent the true moving process of the load when the small trolley is moving. That research method is portable so that it is suitable for researches on the load swing of other type cranes such as Shore container hoist crane, gantry crane and so on.
