Abstract
The paper discusses determining crane block trajectories using the finite element method (FEM). The mathematical formulation for air resistance of hooks’ block is presented with kinematic analysis of the block. The three crane blocks are considered: without wind deflector, with a spherical deflector and a cylindrical fairing. The hook block was assumed as a physical pendulum. The FEM analysis is provided with the hook block movement consideration. Movement trajectories of hook blocks for different wind speeds is depicted and the results are. At the end of the paper, the conclusions are provided with the directions of future research.
