Applying hybrid dynamic substructure synthetic method to dynamic analysis for tower crane

This paper presents a dynamic hybrid substructure synthetic method for tower crane dynamic analysis. This method employs the transfer matrix method and the flexibility degree method respectively to formulate the vibration mathematical models of the tower body and tower top system substructures in the hoisting luffing plane. Based on the motion of the substructures in the interface and the dynamic harmonize condition, the frequency equations are established. Then the program is designed according to the mathematical models and firstly applied to the dynamic analysis of the QTZ63 tower crane in the construction site and the parameter identification of attached device and tower body. The test results show that the value calculated by the above method is quite approximate to the instrument measured value, which can meet the engineering requirements. Further study has found that , for the flexible long-distance attached tower crane, the method that introduces dynamic load coefficient for statics analysis of tower cranes is unprecise enough since there exist errors.This paper suggests to conduct site test and identification of the rigidity coefficient of attached device of the tower crane for the accident prevention of tower crane collapse by timely take measures.
