The dynamic loads during the start-up of a bridge crane can cause excessive stress in the structure and components, leading to potential safety hazards and increased wear and tear. To reduce the influence of the dynamic loads, various strategies can be implemented including optimization of the acceleration and deceleration profiles, using the soft start controls, implementing the vibration damping systems. It is vital to ensure that the proper crane maintenance and inspection protocols are in place. By reducing the impact of dynamic loads during the start-up, the overall performance and longevity of a bridge crane can be improved, ultimately enhancing safety and efficiency of the industrial operations. The present research offers a new approach to improving the efficiency and safety of industrial operations by providing a more precise account of the dynamic loads during the start-up of a bridge crane. The objective of this study is to develop a mathematical model for investigating the mechanical properties of the bridge cranes by analyzing the dynamic loads that occur during lifting operations.Materials and Methods. The development of the mathematical model was based on the kinetic model of the system, which included three connecting blocks and two flexible connections for a more accurate description of the bridge crane structure. Lagrange’s equations incorporating the information about the geometry and structure of a bridge crane were used. They made it possible to describe the motion of a system with the multiple elements and degrees of freedom. Processing and analysis of the results of the mathematical model were carried out in the MATLAB program using the Runge-Kutta method.Results. As a result of the research, a mathematical model was developed to study the dynamic loads affecting a bridge crane during lifting operations. Graphs describing the dependences of speed, acceleration, load, and rope angle over time, and their influence on the crane beam were plotted. The changes in these parameters over time, including their maximum values, were analyzed. The reasons for load changes and factors influencing the extension of lifting machines’ service life as well as reducing metal consumption during production thereof were identified.Discussion and Conclusion. The developed mathematical model and its numerical solution using the specialized software (MATLAB) allow for conducting the dynamic analysis of the bridge crane structures and determining the optimal design solutions. The analysis of the factors influencing the load changes leads to the conclusion that the use of this model can significantly reduce the load magnitudes and metal consumption, as well as increase the service life of lifting machines. The results obtained with the developed mathematical model and its numerical solution are useful for optimizing the crane structures, providing compliance with the operational requirements, and extending the service life of lifting machines.
