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 practical applications, industrial cranes may exhibit double-pendulum swing effects, due
to many factors, such as large payload scales and non-negligible hook masses. Currently …

The paper investigates a nonlinear vibration mitigation strategy of a variable length
pendulum subjected to a harmonic external excitation. A nonlinear absorber in a form of a tri …

Underactuated cranes play an important role in modern industry. Specifically, in most
situations of practical applications, crane systems exhibit significant double pendulum …

In this paper, an adaptive sliding-mode control (ASMC) for offshore container cranes that
load/unload containers from a mega container ship to a smaller vessel is investigated. To …

Using three actuators, in this article, we construct a control system for rubber-tired gantry
(RTG) cranes to track three actuated outputs and stabilize two unactuated outputs. The …

Offshore installations eg, marine transportation, oil platforms, etc., are strongly dependent on
sea conditions, which means low working efficiency and economic loss due to unworkable …

An enhanced coupling PD with sliding mode control method, called ECPD-SMC in short, is
presented for double-pendulum overhead crane systems in this paper. The proposed …

As a typical underactuated mechanical system, offshore ship-mounted cranes are widely
used to carry out the tasks of transferring cargos from one ship to another in the marine …

Among various large-scale mechanical equipments, a rotary crane is one of the most
practical hoisting machineries utilized in factories and docks. However, the inaccurate …
