Dynamic Responses of Mobile Elevating Work Platform and Mega Container Crane Structures

Abstract

The modern design methods lead to the objectivisation of the process of thinking, which is important for the new system development. The aim of objectivisation and decomposition of the design is obvious: it should enable a new approach in the problem solving and thinking of the designer, enriches the large quantity of new information, facts and ideas, which are important for the system designing. The first part of this paper gives a brief presentation of mobile elevating work platform structure response to the wind excitation in possible resonant states. The second part is dedicated to the dynamic analysis of the mega container crane structure subjected to the moving load.
