Tower Crane Load Swing Dynamics Under Stochastic Wind Excitation

Slewing operation data quantifies wind-induced load swing behavior for tower cranes using a two-way fluid-structure coupling simulation framework. The dataset includes results demonstrating wind speed/direction effects, time-varying windward pressure distribution, and tower jib vibration influences. Yu Sun authored this research dataset, last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze correlation between wind direction and radial/tangential swing angles of the load.
• Model the influence of time-varying windward pressure distribution on load swing prediction error.
• Quantify the effect of tower jib wind-induced vibration on maximum load swing offset.
• Simulate nonlinear swing behavior of crane load under stochastic wind excitation for controller design.

Strengths

• Quantifies maximum load swing offset of 1.82 degrees.
• Simulation framework accounts for multi-physics coupling effects between wind, flexible jib, and load.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope and likely few data points.
• Data is simulation-based, not measured from physical crane operations, which may limit real-world validation.
