According to F.E.M standard [2] [3] [4], assume that loads
are analyzed and compared. The results present that stress,

therefore there is a great significance on lightweight design. Here we take hoisting speed vL and coefficient ξ

As shown in Figure 1, two common doorframe types are • The loads are largely due to horizontal acceleration or

A. Stress Analysis B. Deformation Analysis
Stress Analysis of key components of container crane is Like stress calculation is very crucial to structure strength,
helpful to decide the entire crane mechanic characteristics. In deformation analysis also plays an important role in well
this paper, we select ten main target parts shown in Figure 5 performance in service. Similarly we set up nine observation
below. points in the entire skeleton for deflection results. Their points
are shown in Figure 6. Deformation values of their points are
listed in Table ċ and Č. Note: sign”-” in Table means –Y
