Feasibility of the tower crane jib made of composite material
L Solazzi
Abstract:The main purpose of this research is to design a jib of a tower crane using composite material and to compare the effects/performance on the whole machine due to this lightweight process. The research starts by sizing the jib with steel material. Many different load conditions were involved and different criteria were assumed; those are: stress safety factor, stiffness, dynamic performance (modal) and buckling phenomenon which is the most important parameter. Then other non-standard load conditions were applie… Show more
