Problem 2
Numerical Problem (20 points): A gantry crane is an overhead crane that has one or two beams supported by freestanding legs and moves on heels, a track, or rail system carrying a bridge, trolley, and hoist. Gantry cranes are used in warehouses and shipyards to lift and carry heavy objects, and are possibly the most important structure/system in logistics. Your Amazon parcel is handled by multiple gantry cranes each day so that it gets transported safely to you. In turn, for this problem, you will analyze a beam for one such gantry crane in an Amazon warehouse to ensure that you understand everything about the internal forces in this beam and make it safer for the people working in the warehouse. Draw the SFD and BMD for the gantry crane beam shown below using the method of sections. Please make sure you provide numerical values of shear force and bending moment at locations where the loading changes ) and where the shear force and bending moment has the maximum positive and negative magnitudes.
Your diagrams/plots should be on an engineering paper or you can use the engineering paper template uploaded on Canvas. Unclear SFD/BMD, or SFD/BMD not drawn on engineering paper, or SFD/BMD not drawn as per engineering specs will lose upto -10 points.Also, please make sure you box/highlight the various equations you created for various segments along the beam for us to give you partial points. Just creating SFD/BMD without laying down the steps/equations will get you only 5 points.
