Abstract: Today’s industry demands versatile, efficient, and cost effective equipment while at the same time providing more flexibility along with significant savings through increased productivity. Most of the researcher’s did work on static analysis of I-section for by using Analytical and Software basis. One of them ISMB-250 beam are taken for 0.5 ton capacity of Floor mounted jib crane. The purpose behind the design of I-section cantilever beam for 0.5 ton capacity of Floor mounted jib crane is that to reduce the cost, make more efficient and to provide more flexibility. Hence instead of ISMB-250 beam, ISMB-200 beam is selected for reducing cost, more efficient and more flexibility. To check behavior of ISMB200 beam for Floor mounted jib crane in the form of stresses & deformation using Analytical, ANSYS and Experimental (Strain gauge technique). The additional part in this project is Modal analysis. The purpose of modal analysis is to measure the dynamic vibration characteristics such as (Natural frequency, deflection) by using Analytical and Experimental (FFT Analyzer). The differences error between Analytical and FEA values of stress and deformation in the form of percentage are 18% and 8%. Similarly the stresses error difference between Analytical and Experimental are approximately near to 4%. The difference error between the natural frequencies is varying from 4% to 18%. From observing the below results, for lifting 500kg load the optimum I-section beam for Floor mounted jib crane is ISMB200. Due to this selected beam cost is reduced by 30% as compare to existing (ISMB250 beam). Future scope in this project is to perform harmonic response analysis using experimental and numerical.
