For this project we determined that the deflection should be L/450 so from a length of 4.572m the deflection should be 0.009144m. From this and a load of 10,477N we can calculate the 2nd moment of area needed at a minimum. It was found to be 17.62 x 10-5 m. By keeping the beam 2nd … Continue reading Crane : Design →

For the selection of the I beam we need to determine both the 2nd moment of area. However for the determination of the starting point we will use the deflection requirement to determine the 2nd moment of area and from there we will have a minimum as to the size of beam that we need. … Continue reading Crane : The I-Beam (Pt. 2 of 2) →
