Tower Crane Load Swing Parameters Under Stochastic Wind

A 5.5 KB Excel dataset contains parameters from a two-way fluid-structure coupling simulation of a QTZ55 tower crane. It models wind-induced load swing during luffing and slewing operations, quantifying effects like windward pressure error and jib vibration. The dataset was created by researcher Yu Sun and published on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze correlations between simulated wind speed/direction and the resulting radial/tangential swing angles of the crane load.
• Model the influence of time-varying windward pressure distribution, noted to have over 10% error in certain models, on load swing dynamics.
• Quantify the impact of tower jib wind-induced vibration, which caused a maximum load offset of 1.82 degrees in the simulation.
• Validate multi-body dynamic models against the provided coupling framework results for stochastic wind excitation scenarios.

Strengths

• Data derived from a novel two-way fluid-structure coupling simulation framework integrating multi-body dynamics and a full-direction wind field model.
• Quantifies specific performance metrics, including a maximum load swing offset of 1.82 degrees and windward pressure error exceeding 10%.

Limitations

• Extremely small dataset at only 5.5 KB, indicating limited parameter scope or a single simulation case study.
• Contains no real-world observational data; all parameters are from a computational simulation.
• Unknown row and column count prevents assessment of data volume and feature diversity.
