Abstract:
In this paper, an analytical calculation of load on bridge crane carts winch wheel loads was performed based on which FEM analysis and topological wheel optimization were performed. After the calculation, a standard wheel diameter was adopted. During FEM analysis in the CAD system, SolidWorks noted that certain surface areas had extremely low stress values, which was the main reason for the topological optimization of the wheel. The topological optimization of the geometric 3D model of the wheel is made in the CAESS ProTOp software, resulting in optimized 3D geometric wheel model. These models offer a number of advantages, such as saving materials to produce, reducing their own weight, balance stress conditions and easy customization model optimized technologies of additive manufacturing. This model of analysis and optimization was performed on the laboratory model of the bridge crane and it is applicable to all types of cranes.
