Shipboard cranes are extensively utilized in numerous fields such as cargo transferring and
offshore engineering. The control of shipboard cranes, especially the antiswing control of …

In current work, a comprehensive study on control algorithms with the presence of soil-
structure interaction (SSI) effects is presented. Algorithms used in this study are Clipped …

As typical mechanical transportation equipment, cooperative dual ship-mounted cranes are
widely used to transport large goods or containers in the marine environment. However, the …

This paper proposes an event-triggered global sliding mode based anti-sway control for
offshore container cranes. Its main objective is to guarantee the robust tracking performance …

Because of the existence of rotational boom motion, the load sway characteristics is more
complex. In particular, when the sway presents double‐pendulum phenomenon, the design …

In this paper, the global sliding mode control technique is designed for anti-sway control of
offshore crane mounted on surface vessel. The offshore cranes are responsible for moving …

A Lyapunov-based model predictive control (MPC) scheme is firstly developed for shipboard
boom cranes with ship rolling, while considering optimization and input saturation. By …

Payload sway for shipboard cranes represents a significant safety concern for deck
personnel. In this paper, a generalized trajectory modification strategy is presented that can …

The stabilizing control of a double pendulum offshore crane in the presence of matched
disturbances, unmatched disturbances and the actuator saturations is a challenging …

To date, most control strategies have been designed for the two-dimensional and three-
dimensional overhead crane systems with the single pendulum effect. In fact, three …
