Design Analysis of Cantilever I Type Beam for Jib Crane-A Practical Problem of Industry

摘要

Today's industry demands versatile, efficient and cost effective equipment while at the same time providing more flexibility along with significant savings through increased productivity. Developing an industrial activity gives an exposure to the budding engineers to get familiar with the industrial area, in which they are supposed to work in future. Also the interaction happened during the development of an activity include investigation of available methodologies, finding the drawbacks in the existing system, creation of new innovative ideas, checking the feasibility of ideas, gathering of relevant information, application of theoretical knowledge for designing of system, verification using computer oriented technologies, finally implementation of best solution gives us the opportunities to come true is the problem of failure of component of jib crane ,then it is selected for the design analysis and finding the best solution. Cantilever I- type beam is a component of the jib crane used in Kedar Engineers Industry, which is located in Bhosari MIDC, Pune. This component is liable to fail due to excessive loading, by the flexural yielding and the shear cracks. The design of the crane for industry aims to ensure the safety for selected components. In this paper, Investigations for the system currently in use was analyzed for various modes of failure and then selected the major component of jib crane is cantilever I- type beam for the analysis and furthermore the results are compared with FEA software- ANSYS. The analytical calculations for the maximum stress developed and the maximum deflection occurring in the cantilever I- type beam, are calculated for the sorted range of commercially available sizes of I- type beam; selected arbitrarily for the given loading conditions and then the modeling of the same designs is made using software itself and tested for the given loading conditions. Also the results obtained are plotted for von misses stress distribution and maximum stress SMAX, and maximum deflection DMAX is obtained on the window is shown in this paper
