dc.description.abstract | This research investigates the design, analysis, and optimization of a portable crane. The
focus is on enhancing the crane's structural integrity, load-bearing capacity, and ease of
assembly and disassembly. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) techniques are employed to
simulate the crane's behaviour under various loading conditions, allowing for the
identification of critical stress points and potential failure modes.
To optimize the crane's design, a multi-objective optimization approach is adopted,
considering factors such as weight, strength, and cost. The optimization process involves the
use of genetic algorithms to explore a wide range of design parameters and identify the
optimal solution.
The findings of this research contribute to the development of safer, more efficient, and
cost-effective portable cranes. The optimized designs can be used to guide the
manufacturing process and improve the performance of portable cranes in various
applications, such as construction, manufacturing, and logistics. | en_US |
