Abstract

The rail clamp is the device to prevent that a crane slips along rails due to the wind blast as well as to locate the crane in the set position for loading and unloading containers. The wedge typed rail clamp should be designed to consider the structural stability and the durability because it compresses both rail side with large clamping force by the wedge working as the wind speed increases. In this research, the design of experiments(DOE) and the variation technology(VT) built in ANSYS WORKBENCH are utilized to determine the optimum shape of a jaw. The optimum results obtained by two methods are compared and examined.
