Tower Crane Load Swing Parameters Under Stochastic Wind

A simulation dataset quantifies wind-induced load swing in tower cranes, revealing a maximum swing offset of 1.82 degrees and windward pressure errors exceeding 10%. Yu Sun created this dataset using a two-way fluid-structure coupling framework to model multi-physics interactions. It was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Model the correlation between radial and tangential swing angles of the load under different wind directions.
• Analyze the influence of time-varying windward pressure distribution on load swing dynamics.
• Simulate the effects of tower jib wind-induced vibration on nonlinear swing behavior.
• Quantify load swing offsets during luffing and slewing operations under stochastic wind excitation.

Strengths

• Quantifies specific physical outcomes, including a maximum load swing offset of 1.82 degrees.
• Based on a two-way fluid-structure coupling simulation framework integrating multi-body dynamics and a wind field model.
• Results highlight a measurable error exceeding 10% in windward pressure distribution.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope and likely a small number of simulation runs or parameters.
• Contains no information on the number of rows, columns, or specific data structure.
• The simulation model's assumptions and validation against real-world data are not described.
