Abstract
The design and application of reinforced composite materials in structural components have become increasingly relevant in the material handling industry, particularly in overhead cranes, where durability and structural integrity are critical. This review article examines the current advancements in reinforced composite bracket design aimed at enhancing the durability and performance of overhead crane systems. Focusing on the unique mechanical properties of composite materialssuch as high strength-to-weight ratios, corrosion resistance, and flexibility in tailored reinforcementthis review analyzes various design approaches, material choices, and reinforcement techniques utilized to optimize bracket performance. Key topics include stress distribution in composite structures, fatigue resistance under repeated loading, and innovative design strategies to improve longevity in high-stress environments. Furthermore, the review explores the advantages of using composites over traditional materials in terms of weight reduction, ease of maintenance, and overall system reliability. By synthesizing recent studies and practical case analyses, this article highlights both the challenges and potential of composite bracket designs to improve durability in cranes, ultimately contributing to safer, more efficient material handling operations. This comprehensive review offers valuable insights for engineers and researchers focused on advancing the design and reliability of composite structural components in heavy-duty applications.
