One of the most significant structural dynamics problems of large gantry cranes are elastic
vibrations in trolley travel direction. They put additional mechanical stresses on a crane …

This paper discusses a combined finite element and analytical method for obtaining
transverse and longitudinal vibrations of a gantry crane system subjected to an elastically …

This paper is concerned with nonlinear control for positioning of large gantry cranes. An
important structural dynamics problem of this type of cranes are flexible structural vibrations …

This study examined the effect of earthquake frequency on the seismic response of a typical
modern container crane. A time-history analysis was carried out on the crane using 93 real …

The dynamics of an overhead crane system with the suspended payload on the trolley
moving at a specified constant speed is considered in this paper. The beam is discretizied …

While the moving load problem has received a lot of attention in the context of bridges
traversed by road or rail vehicles, the same cannot be said about ship unloaders where …

Seismic responses of A-frame jumbo-size container cranes are comprehensively studied by
exciting them as realistically as practical to evaluate the adequacy of the conventional static …

The moving load problem is one of the fundamental problems in structural dynamics. A lot of
work has been reported during more than a century ago dealing with the dynamic response …

The size of container vessels has grown up in the past ten years and the trend prospect to
be continued, according to analysis almost half of current ships order is for vessels …

Container cranes, an essential component in any seaport facility system, are highly
susceptible to failure during natural disasters such as severe windstorms. Damage or …
