摘要
Experimental measurement methods used in operational mode provide valuable information about the behavior of mechanical parts of equipment that cannot be determined in advance by analytical calculations or numerical modeling. The strain gauge method, which is often used to investigate the stresses in the load-bearing members of steel structures under operational conditions, was used. The advantage is the fast and accurate acquisition of stress values at critical locations selected based on analytical computations or numerical modeling. In the present paper, the residual operating life of two main girders of a bridge crane was assessed by an analytical-experimental approach. The input parameters for the assessment were obtained from the evaluated stress time records and using the Rainflow Counting method. Experimental measurements identified an almost 50% decrease in the residual life of one of the girders. It was caused by non-compliance with the technological procedures for the regular replacement of the rails, where the rail was welded to the top flange on one of the girders. Considering realistic operating conditions, predicting the effect of welded rail on fatigue damage accumulation, performed by other than experimental procedures, is almost impossible for such complex structures. This paper not only documents the importance of experimental measurements but also highlights the significance of selecting measurement locations with consideration of the current technical state of the structure.
