Dimensional optimization for the strength structure of a traveling crane

Abstract:- Most of the time, the strength structures who have not been statically determined, cut to the right sized, and checked out by the classic methods of the material strength cause the over sizing, because specialists use approximate measurements in order to decrease the number of mathematical calculation. This paper work describes the optimization of the main beam of a strength structure of a traveling crane used in metallurgy – by using the OPTSTAR mode that the COSMOS/M calculation software encloses which uses finite elements. In order to accomplish the best suited size, we have to perform both an analytic and experimental study about the performance of the traveling crane. In order to do that, we analyze the state of the tensions and deformation of the strength structure by using this calculation software based on COSMOS finite elements. In order to validate the analytic study, we have performed some industrial experiments by using specific devices for measuring the resistance of the electrical tension. Both the analytic and experimental studies have pointed out that we are able to come up with the best sizes in order to reduce the material consumption we used during the production process of the main beam within the strength structure of the traveling crane we have analyzed
