Estimation of deformations of steel constructions of cranes based on photogrammetry

The paper considers the results of the application of photogrammetry to assess the deformations of rod and plate elements of the steel constructions of hoisting machines, the analysis of the main problems arising in their processing and the proposed solutions to ensure the necessary accuracy. The authors, based on their own research and practical experiences application in the use of photogrammetry, carried out accuracy rating the magnitude of deformations. Based on a brief review of normative documents, proposals for rationing the permissible values of measurement errors are given. The paper also considers the problems that may arise in the assessment of the deformed state of design status and proposes approaches to solving these problems. One of the problems solved in the study was to assess the magnitude of the deformation of the rear belt of support of blocks of equalizing polyspast, resulting from an emergency situation during the operation of the crane KPL-16-30. In addition to assessing the overall deformed state of the entire element, the deformation in some sections of the structure was assessed. The application of some approaches to estimating the deformation of rod structure elements based on modeling the shape of the a curved axis of a beam or rod. Also considered the experience of deflection measurement the deflection of the 0.5 t electric hoists guide in the laboratory of hoisting machines. The authors shared their inspecting of the wagon tippler No. 2 examination. In addition to the assessment of transverse deformations, the task was to check the possible torsion of the metal structure of the moving part. In the process of work some problems were also revealed, the solution of which will make it possible to provide the necessary accuracy of measurements. When evaluating the approximation accuracy, the authors propose to use several approaches.
