Finite Element Analysis of JIB Crane

Abstract

A jib crane is a type of crane with a cantilevered beam, a hoist, and a trolley that is attached to a building column or cantilevers vertically from an independent floor mounted column. This paper will primarily focus on floor-mounted jib cranes, in which the trolley hoist moves along the length of the boom and the boom spins, allowing the lifted load to be moved skillfully in a relatively circular area. Several factors must be considered when designing a jib crane, the most important of which are the crane's own weight and the weight of the goods. This project investigates the deformation patterns in the jib crane with different design and the work is carried out by designing reinforcement to overcome those stresses in the component. With existing dimensions, models are prepared in modeling software and the analysis is performed on the models by finite element solver with suitable conditions and results are compared.
