Modal Finite Element Analysis of Reconstructive Structure for Gantry Crane on the Basis of ANSYS and Dynamic Stiffness

摘要

Due to business development, a Shipyard Co., Ltd. in Guangdong planned to remould a double girder gantry crane of MG32/10-37A5 (32t-37m) into a type of 20t-37m and to heighten 6m lifting height of structure. A Cranes Machinery Co., LTD. in Guangzhou undertook this job. After the completion of transformation for the crane, the serious laterodeviations of the crane were found in operational process, which affected its safety use. This paper used a finite ANSYS to perform the modal analysis of the crane before and after reconstruction. The results show that the dynamic stiffness of the remoulded crane was reduced obviously. For the reason, the four reinforcement schemes of the crane were put forward by the Cranes Machinery Co., LTD.. This study again performed the model analysis for the schemes and selected an optimal one by calculation, analysis and contrast, which has successfully solved the above problem. The present results can provide a reference for solving similar problems in the future.
