A stability control system is developed for a self-propelled crane in dynamic loading. The simulation of crane operation takes account of the flexural deformation of the elements and the operation of the hydraulic drive, along with interactive control. The simulation is based on the integration of Matlab Simulink, Fuzzy Logic Toolbox, and SolidWorks CAD 3D modeling software.
When operating a railway crane in curved sections of the track, derailment of wheelsets of the crane bogies from the rail track when it is displaced during hanging on the outriggers, wheelset of the bogie missing the rail track after the work has been completed or the crane has been down from the outriggers, which significantly affects performance of loading and unloading operations. One of the reasons for the occurrence of such dangerous situations is the not strictly horizontal position of the non-rotating platform of the railway crane.Railway cranes are part of recovery trains designed to eliminate the consequences of rolling stock derailments. A priority for recovery trains is to reduce the time it takes to eliminate the consequences of traffic accidents, which can be achieved through the use of new or improved devices or methods.The article describes a system of automatic stabilization (leveling) of the platform of a railway crane (for example, EDK 500/1 crane type) when it moves in curved sections of the track (the motion of a railway crane at relatively low speeds (up to 50 km/h) is considered).In order to study the modernized technical system (a crane equipped with an automatic platform stabilization system), its mathematical simulation is carried out. At the initial stage, a solidstate digital model of a railway crane in combination with a section of a railway track is created in the SolidWorks computer-aided design system; developed solid model is translated into the Sim- Mechanics MATLAB environment. Further, in order to improve the adequacy of modeling, the developed dynamic model is being finalized by integrating MATLAB program libraries (SimMechanics, SimHydraulics, Fuzzy Logic Toolbox, etc.) to take into account the interaction of elements of different physical nature. Results of modeling modernized technical system are presented, which confirm the advisability of using the stabilization system on railway cranes when passing curved track sections.
Introduction: Currently, mobile boom cranes equipped with telescopic boom equipment are widely used in construction, loading and unloading, as well as installation. Purpose of the study: We aimed to develop a dynamic model for a railway lifting crane, taking into account the interaction of its structural elements with each other and the bearing soil surface in a three-dimensional formulation. Methods: In the course of the study, we used Simulation and Motion modules of the SolidWorks software package, Klepikov’s non-linearly deformable soil model, and Lagrange’s equation of the second kind. Results: As a result, we developed a numerical analytical 3D model describing dynamic loading and deformation of the “mobile boom crane – foundation” system in a three-dimensional formulation. The model takes into account the following: the internal bending deformation and the interaction of the mating structural elements of a crane (telescopic sections, telescoping hydraulic cylinders, and outriggers), hoist rope rigidity, grillage (framework of sleepers) influence, elastic and plastic properties of the base platform soil, and action of inertial loads on the structural elements of the lifting crane.
Introduction. The authors present the numerical calculation of the hydro-liquid leakage throughthe radial clearance of the “piston - hydraulic cylinder” conjugate node on the basis of determiningthe sealing elements’ resource of the tower crane hydraulic cylinder.Materials and methods. The authors use the method of mathematical modeling, which makes it possible to model the containing elements’ interaction of different physical nature on the unified methodological basis. Moreover, the paper presents such simulation systems as Simulation (finite element method), Flow Simulation (finite volume method) of the SolidWorks CAD program and Simulink Matlab with expansion packs.Results. As a result, the authors demonstrate the three-dimensional and irregular cross-section conjugation model of the radial clearance in the “piston - hydraulic cylinder” conjugate node. In addition, the authors propose the calculating method of the hydraulic cylinder tightness. Such method establishes the following scheme: “load on the hydraulic cylinder —number of operating cycles — uneven radial clearance between the piston and the liner — amount of fluid leakage — shrinkage of the rod”.Discussion and conclusions. The results of the research make it possible to increase the reliability of the power hydraulic cylinders of the road construction machines and equipment.
