THE STUDY OF A JIB CRANE FROM A CARGO SHIP

This paper presents the study of a jib crane from a general cargo ship. There are numerous different types of vessels operating today in the various markets worldwide. Besides, thousands of cargo vessel ply the world’s oceans and seas each year, handling the bulk of international trade. The cranes from cargo ship is required to be adequate stability and strength for each load. All cranes from vessel are mounted on deck of the ship. Having regard in particular to the stress induced at its mounting or fixing points, adequately ballasted, securely anchored and supported by outriggers as necessary to ensure its stability when lifting. A jib from a crane from cargo ship is a type of overhead lifting device that is often used in a smaller work cell area for repetitive and unique lifting tasks. The extreme values of the stresses and reaction forces are determined by the finite element method. In this manuscript, the design of the cargo ship and the study of a jib crane are made using NX software from Siemens.
