Crane-lift operations are critical in construction. With the advancement of information and
communications technologies, crane-lift automation (CLA) has been increasingly explored …

This paper presents the application of the tensor product (TP)‐based model transformation
approach to produce Tower CRrane (TCR) systems models. The modeling approach starts …

Tower cranes are a class of important and useful tools for the transportation of large
cargoes, especially in high building construction. Moreover, the combination of jibs' …

A novel adaptive neural network tracking control method is systematically investigated for a
unique double-pendulum tower crane system model in this article. Several critical and …

Overhead cranes are widely used structures for lifting and conveying heavy loads. The
development of feedback control systems for such equipment is important due to the large …

An adaptive integral sliding mode control (AISMC) method with payload sway reduction is
presented for 4-DOF tower cranes in this paper. The designed controller consists of three …

As an efficient transportation tool, a tower crane is widely used in construction sites. To
improve the working efficiency, some automatic control methods have been proposed for …

To transfer heavy payloads at construction sites, tower cranes are essential. However, tower
cranes are a complex underactuated system due to the strong coupling between the jib …

We develop a robust controller for tracking a class of underactuated mechanical systems
(UMSs) that considers many inconveniences, such as actuator faults, parametric …
