Abstract
The research aims at analysing the performance of monorail girder of hoist crane. Double box girder overhead hoist cranes are used for heavy duty applications in the Power Generation industries. A detailed design and Analysis of cross section of the main girder of box type is performed for a 145 ton capacity and 28.8 m span double box girder crane, in accordance with relevant design rules. Design is performed using principal calculations and finite element analysis is done with the help of ANSYS 12.0 Multiphysics. Then these values of manual calculation and analysis are compared to check the safety of monorail girder for various parameters like deflection, shear stresses, bending stresses, etc. As a result of analysis, it is observed that all these values are within permissible limit and the design of monorail girder is safe.
