Abstract

The object of research is the behavior of the load of the tower crane during the break of the sling. One of the most problematic areas is the safety of work and the prevention of emergency situations. Despite the presence of mandatory safety measures, during cargo transportation, one of the sling branches may be destroyed due to the presence of a dynamic component during the operation of the crane, or errors of the slinger when securing the cargo. Also, the presence of hidden internal or unnoticed defects in the sling construction itself cannot be ruled out. Also, one of the most problematic places is the chaotic fluctuations of the load, which negatively affect the stability of the crane and safety. The paper describes the case of the destruction of one of the branches of a two-rope sling during the transportation of a long product by a tower crane.

The proposed method of cargo behavior analysis is based on the use of a dynamic description of cable system failure modes within the framework of setting and solving differential-algebraic equations. This makes it possible to more accurately describe the behavior of the cargo when the sling breaks.

The obtained results show that the application of the proposed method makes it possible to bring the mathematical model of the two-link mathematical pendulum significantly closer to the actual mutual oscillations of the load during the sling break. This is due to the fact that the proposed method has a number of features, in particular, high sensitivity to changes in the behavior of the cargo and a quick reaction to a rope break.

These results can be used in practice in the design and operation of tower cranes. Thanks to the application of the proposed method, it is possible to obtain accurate values of cargo behavior indicators and timely detection of a rope break. Compared to similar known methods, this method has such advantages as high efficiency, reliability and safety of operation.
