Modelling and Analysis of Double Girder Gantry Crane

Cranes are the material handling equipment's used to lift loads by the means of hoisting mechanism. It plays a major role in transmitting goods and heavy machinery from one place to another whether in a free space or in a restricted one. The present project is carried out about the design and analysis of Double girder gantry crane by consideration of various standard parameters. The total design is assumed to be as a simply supported beam with a point loads acting at the centre of the beam and the self-weight of the crane is considered as a uniform distributed load. The deflections, shear force, bending moments and Vibrational analysis of the crane section is theoretical calculated. The analysis is also carried out by using ANSYS 14.5 MECHANICAL APDL and WORKBENCH analysis software. The results obtained from Ansys and Analytical calculations are compared. At initial stage the Gantry crane model is considered as two dimensional after obtaining results then three dimensional model is considered and analysis of the double gantry crane analysis is done.
