RIGID BODY DYNAMICS APPROACH TO DESIGN ENGINEERING AND OPTIMIZATION OF LIFT/SWING CRANES
Dr. Jay M. Mahishi
MS&M Engineering has developed a unique approach in which a large utility crane mounted on a truck is designed and optimized by rigid body and deformable body dynamics
All operations of the crane and the suspended lift load are captured through rigid body equations of motion. This approach is far simpler and quicker than trying to solve entire structure with deformable bodies.
