        abstract = {This study focuses on analysing the dynamic response of beams and frames subjected to moving point loads, particularly in EOT crane girders used in industrial applications. These girders experience complex vibrations due to moving crane trolleys and lifted loads. The Finite Element Method (FEM) is used to model the structure accurately, considering material properties, boundary conditions, and load movement. Numerical time integration methods are applied to capture time-dependent structural responses. The study evaluates displacement, stress distribution, and oscillatory behaviour under real operating conditions. It also examines the effect of different load velocities on structural performance and stability. A key parameter analysed is the Dynamic Magnification Factor (DMF), which compares dynamic and static displacements. Higher load speeds are found to increase vibration amplitudes and risk of resonance. Natural frequency analysis is conducted to understand and control these vibrations. Additionally, geometry optimization is performed to enhance strength, reduce weight, and improve overall structural reliability.},
