Out-of-the-lifting-plane Stability Analysis of Crane Telescopic Boom with Cable Exerted at the Top

摘要

To enhance the carrying capacity of the crane variable cross-section telescopic boom, the usual practice is using the cable at its top end, it makes the out-of-the-lifting plane stability problem of crane telescopic boom become solving the Euler critical force with follower force. This paper established the deflection differential equations of crane telescopic boom model which under actions of cable, with proper boundary conditions, the recurrence formula of buckling characteristic equations were presented, and some practical applications were given. The influence on buckling critical force of crane boom due to the ratio of the length of cable and crane boom was discussed. Took certain four-sectioned telescopic boom as example, the destabilizing critical force was calculated, the result showed that in comparison with the ANSYS method, the buckling characteristic equations in this paper is completely correct.
