we are doing a crane boom analysis and are confused about the application of the loadings at the tip of a the boom.
Our scenario is –
6m SWH, we have computed the dynamic factor to be 2.81 for an SWL of 12 tonnes. Thus the actual load at the crane boom tip is about 34 tonnes (12 x 2.81)...
Thanks guys,
I did think that we should not reset the clock, esp if the number of cycles have not been achieved.
However then my question would be "what happens after the 25000 cycle has been reached?" We do a thorough inspection and find there are no cracks or areas of concern. I guess we...
