These methods are specific to a single aspect of crane design, and are not designed to focus on the analysis of the crane as a whole system. This requires re-iteration of engineering work for each subsequent stage, leading to unnecessary rework and waste of engineering resources. </p><p>To bring cohesion to the engineering analysis, a specialized analytical solver was developed. This solver combines the structural analysis for all aspects of the crane design. This analysis is performed using equations-of-state modeling in a two-stage process: the first stage addresses the crane structure and optimization, the second stage addresses the runway structure and optimization. Design checks against code and crane industry standards are performed constantly, to aid in the optimization process.</p> 2012-06-19 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1328021324 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1328021324 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
