1 Design, Analysis and Optimization of Crane Hook 1 Hardik P. Kankotiya, 2 Prof. Nikunj Modh 1 ME Student, 2 Assistant Professor 12 Mechanical Engineering Department 12 VENUS International College of Technology, Bhoyan Rathod. Abstract Crane hook are highly liable components and are always subjected to failure due to accumulation of large amount of stresses which can eventually lead to its failure to study the stress pattern in its loaded condition. In this thesis an overall design of the hoisting mechanism of an EOT crane has been carried out. The dimensions of the main components have been determined for a load capacity of 10 ton crane having 8 rope falls. Various dimensions for cross sections of various shapes for crane hook have been found. After the system was designed, the stress and deflection are calculated at critical points using ANSYS and optimized. Which cross section would be better keeping some parameters constant for all the case. Various dimensions and load per wire for wire ropes has been found. Using various formulae found the dimensions for pulley, Rope-drum. Also calculated the Power and ratings for the motor, brakes used in the hoist mechanism. A solid model of crane hook is prepared as per standard dimension of 10 tone hook with the help of Solid Works parametric software having material mild steel and then it is exported to ANSYS software and load is applied. The location of maximum stress produced within the member is located and identified using FEM. Modal analysis with respect to boundary condition for propose weigh and stress effect on crane hook and find total deformation with respected frequency according to geometry. Index Terms Crane Hook, EOT, Rope-drum, ANSYS, FEM. I. INTRODUCTION A crane is a type of machine, generally equipped with a hoist, wire ropes or chains, and sheaves, that can be used both to lift and lower materials and to move them horizontally. It is mainly used for lifting heavy things and transporting them to other places. It uses one or more simple machines to create mechanical advantage and thus move loads beyond the normal capability of a man. Cranes are commonly employed in the transport industry for the loading and unloading of freight, in the construction industry for the movement of materials and in the manufacturing industry for the assembling of heavy equipment. The first construction cranes were invented by the Ancient Greeks and were powered by men or beasts of burden, such as donkeys. These cranes were used for the construction of tall buildings. Larger cranes were later developed, employing the use of human tread wheels, permitting the lifting of heavier weights. In the High Middle Ages, harbour cranes were introduced to load and unload ships and assist with their construction some were built into stone towers for extra strength and stability. The earliest cranes were constructed from wood, but cast iron and steel took over with the coming of the Industrial Revolution. II. HOSTING DEVICE A hoisting device is used for lifting or lowering a load by means of a drum or lift-wheel around which rope or chain wraps. It may be manually operated, electrically or pneumatically driven and may use chain, fiber or wire rope as its lifting medium Example: Elevators, crane. Here the hoisting part of an EOT crane is discussed The hoisting part of the EOT crane consists of the following parts Hoist motor Gear box Drum Pulleys Wire rope Hook A hoist motor is used as a driving system for the mechanism. The motor is coupled to a gearbox. IJEDR International Journal of Engineering Development and Research ( 773

2 Figure 1 Schematic view of the hoisting device The gear box is coupled to the rope drum. The rope is wounded on the rope drum. The pulleys are arranged with 8 rope falls. At the bottom of the pulley the hook is attached with the help of a thrust bearing. III. HOSTING DEVICE Figure 2 Different views of the crane hook The inner side is called intrados and the outer side is called the extrado. According to force diagram of the hook intrado experiences more tensile force than the extrado. Hook bed diameter is given by the formula c = μ P cm Where P is the load applied in tonne c is the bed diameter μ is a constant varying from 3.8 to 7.6 Considering μ = 4.24 c = 30cm =300mm Throat of the hook is taken 0.75c =225mm d = 3.2 P + c 10 =256.2mm Using safety factor 6.

3 IV. FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS (FEA) Solid Works 2015 precision finite element model-building tool, offers many design scenarios and mesh enhancement capabilities. Solid Works 2015 enables several design classes, including 2- and 3-D surface and solid models, beam or truss and plate/shell. Solid Works 2015 also enables engineers to build compound models having mixed element types. Solid Works 2015 provides access to Merlin Meshing Technology for automatic surface mesh enhancement or enables engineers to work directly on an FEA model surface for manual mesh enhancement. Engineers can choose tetrahedral, brick or hybrid (bricks outside and tetrahedral inside) solid FEA meshes. Solid Works 2015 s linear static and dynamic stress analysis capabilities determine stresses, displacements and natural frequencies as well as predict dynamic response to static and dynamic loading. These capabilities are highlighted throughout this brochure. Solid Works 2015 s FEA, Mechanical Event Simulation, modeling and CAD/CAE interoperability tools are designed to help engineers develop products that are more reliable and less costly to produce with faster times-to-market. To provide the best cost/benefit solution for each customer, Solid Works 2015 s High Technology Core Packages and Extenders can be purchased at special combination pricing or separately to best fit individual needs while allowing for future growth and change. The finite element method (FEM), sometimes referred to as finite element analysis (FEA), is a computational technique used to obtain approximate solutions of boundary value problems in engineering. Simply stated, a boundary value problem is a mathematical problem in which one or more dependent variables must satisfy a differential equation everywhere within a known domain of independent variables and satisfy specific conditions on the boundary of the domain. Boundary value problems are also sometimes called field problems. The field is the domain of interest and most often represents a physical structure. The field variables are the dependent variables of interest governed by the differential equation. The boundary conditions are the specified values of the field variables (or related variables such as derivatives) on the boundaries of the field. Depending on the type of physical problem being analyzed, the field variables may include physical displacement, temperature, heat flux, and fluid velocity to name only a few. (A) STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF CRANE HOOK BASIC STEPS OF FEA ANALYSIS FOR 1080 MILD STEEL Preprocessing: defining the problem The major steps in preprocessing are define key points/lines/areas/volumes, define element type and material/geometric properties, Mesh lines/areas/ volumes as required. The amount of detail required will depend on the dimensionality of the analysis, i.e., 1D, 2D, ax symmetric, and 3D. Solution: assigning loads, constraints, and solving Here, it is necessary to specify the loads (point or pressure), constraints (translational and rotational), and finally solve the resulting set of equations. Post processing: further processing and viewing of the results In this stage one may wish to see lists of nodal displacements, element forces and moments, deflection plots, and Stress contour diagrams or temperature maps.
