- Abstract
Considering the difficulties of mathematical analysis and the complex computer programming of numerical methods in solving dynamical problems of the multi-body dynamic system for the hoisting mechanism of a crane, in this paper, a multi-mass-multi-freedom model is set up and the simulation system of the model is built up applying MATLAB/SIMULINK toolbox. The differential equations of the model is solved with adaptive-step fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. In the study, the typical work conditions of the hoisting mechanism, such as start rise from ground, start rise/down in air, brake conditions, were simulated. The dynamic performance of the hoisting mechanism is studied and the results obtained are valuable to practice. This study improves the modeling accuracy of the hoisting mechanism and the results of precious theoretical analysis and numerical computation conclusions. The movement of every discrete body of the system can be modeled applying the methods suggested by this study and more consistent results between model and actual hoisting mechanism can be achieved.
