Tower Crane Load Swing Dynamics Under Stochastic Wind

Simulation data quantifies the nonlinear swing behavior of a tower crane load subjected to stochastic wind excitation. The 5.5 KB dataset, created by Yu Sun and published in April 2026, is derived from a two-way fluid-structure coupling model integrating a crane multi-body dynamic model with a full-direction wind field model.

Use Cases

• Analyze correlations between wind speed/direction variations and the radial/tangential swing angles of the load.
• Quantify the influence of time-varying windward pressure distribution on load swing, where modeling errors can exceed 10%.
• Model the impact of tower jib wind-induced vibration on load swing, which can cause a maximum offset of 1.82°.
• Validate multi-physics coupling frameworks for simulating wind-structure-load interactions in flexible crane structures.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a novel two-way fluid-structure coupling simulation framework.
• Quantifies specific swing offsets (e.g., maximum offset of 1.82°) and error margins (exceeding 10%).

Limitations

• Dataset is extremely small at 5.5 KB, indicating very limited scope or sample size.
• Contains simulation results only, not validated with physical field measurements.
• Specific row count, column names, and sample data are unavailable for assessment.
