Project Overview

Focus

Demonstrate that the crane behaves as predicted — or explain why it doesn’t.

Tasks

• Static testing:
  • Measure tip deflection under load
  • Compare to analytical predictions
• Dynamic testing:
  • Observe oscillation during pan/tilt
  • Estimate settling time
• Balance tuning:
  • Adjust counterweights
  • Evaluate operator effort
• Document discrepancies between theory and reality

Deliverables

• Test photos/videos
• Measured vs predicted performance comparison
• Written failure analysis and lessons learned
