design and dimensioning of movements

[Sam Sung]

Bye to all,
I'm a nautical engineer but I almost always took care of furniture and refitting of boats. the experience I have in the structural dimensioning is limited to the naval field. Most of my knowledge of construction science lies in some corner of the unused brain! :finger: I have currently found employment in a company that deals with movements for big yachts: metal carpentry for catwalks, hangers, cranes for the lifting of tenders and travel. for now I move the first steps in the paramentary modeling with inventor but soon I will face the dimensioning of the pieces A mechanical engineer would be comfortable. But I'm really scared! therefore I decided to deepen as much as possible the subject and make me a culture in this area ....and to do so I ask your help.

I look for manuals, books, sites, notes and reference standards etc... on the construction of machines. in particular on structural dimensioning and details. I already scanned the forum well and google but I just got to create even more confusion. what would you recommend?

I found a great shigley's - mechanical engineering design, but I would like to know what an Italian student would use. I would like to find examples of dimensionalization of cranes, means of lifting and handling loads. (e.g., I'm taking back what I found here: http://www.dimec.unige.it/pmar/pages/didattica/dispense/cm1new/3_exercizi resolved.pdf)

immensely thanks to those who want to be of help! :redface:

Welcome!
to begin with I would recommend the basic texts relating to steel structures, construction of machinery and mechanical construction techniques for example:
theory and practice of steel structures (nunziata)
steel constructions (branch)
foundations of the design of the components of the machines (of juvinall-marshek)
construction of machines (black)
lessons on machine organs (davoli et al.)
construction of machines (bernasconi et al.)
mechanical behaviour exercises of the materials and elements of the machines (croccol)
but there are many others... and finally a manual of mechanics (e.g. hoepli) for consultation;
without forgetting to always refer to the current regulations, for example for the metal structures eurocode 3.
I hope I've been helpful.

then add some product standards:
en 13001 mobile crane
en 12999 crane on truck
en 13155 lifting accessories
fem 1001

with Italian texts you do not go very far because or are not updated, or because they are vague and generic. Unfortunately, the best texts are in English.

a little better are the resources of the universities on the various dispensers regarding mechanical organs, welds and Eurocodes with calculated examples.

if you want more books are:
peterson’s stress concentration factors for carvings and fatigue

standard handbook of machine design - (malestrom) to have directions on mechanical organs

steel designer's manual for metal construction

What do you mean? Thank you so much! I begin my (long) research and if I need I will know where to ask! :finger:
