description The swing behaviour of tower cranes under compound working conditions is closely related to construction safety and structural health. This paper presents dynamic models and simulated them for parameter analysis to understand tower cranes’ dynamic characteristics and vibration features under compound working conditions. The parameters contain payload mass, rope length, lifting acceleration, slewing acceleration, luffing acceleration, and initial angle. For the lifting-luffing coupling motion (LLCM) and lifting-slewing coupling motion (LSCM) of the tower crane, the D’Alembert principle provides a theoretical basis for the derivation of system dynamics equations. The spatial swing angle description of the crane payload includes the time-domain response and frequency-domain response, which uses a dynamic model. The result shows that the mass has little effect on the spatial swing angle. The value of the lifting acceleration is stable at 0.004 m/s2 to 0.01 m/s2. Peak value (PV), root mean square value (RMS), root mean square frequency (RMSF), and frequency standard deviation (RVF) present the best sensitivity to changes in the spatial swing angle response. When PV of angles θ and β increases by tens of thousands of times in the LLCM, PV can reflect the phenomenon of angle divergence. The skewness value (SV) increases by 3422% at the severe swing angle performance in the LSCM. The swing angle regularity with the compound working conditions can provide theoretical guidance for eliminating structural vibration.
