Single girder overhead travelling cranes

The aims of the present coursework are to: • become familiar with the specific lifting devices (single girder overhead travelling cranes) and the standards used for their design • practice the calculation of N-Q-M diagrams, the application of the singularity-functions method and the calculation of the normal/shearing/equivalent stress in a real-life engineering application • practice the simplified calculation of the natural frequency of a real-life engineering structure
