Load-sway and boom-twist should both be considered in motion control given that a large
crane typically has a long lattice boom. Hence, this study first analyzes the load-sway and …

Efficient control of offshore cranes has attracted world-wide attention in recent years.
However, due to the persistent ship roll/heave motion disturbances, it is very challenging to …

Launching and recovering a lifeboat from a mother ship is a critical task for rescuing people
in high sea states, which can be dangerous to both the mother ship crew and lifeboat …

Offshore boom cranes are complex nonlinear underactuated systems, whose control
problems, when considering the 3-dimensional (3-D) model affected by ship-induced …

The swing characteristics of the load of ship‐mounted rotary cranes is very complicated, due
to the rotation of the boom. Especially, when the crane is operating at sea, it is subject to …

The article proposes a nonlinear optimal control approach for the model of boom cranes
being mounted on vessels. The dynamic model of the boom cranes undergoes approximate …

The increasing use of ship-mounted rotary cranes in marine trade has complicated
operations, as the varying rope length increases the system's underactuation. Additionally …

A nonlinear energy-based controller and a Lyapunov-based model predictive control (MPC)
technology are constructed in sequence for shipboard boom cranes, while taking full state …

Underactuated offshore boom cranes are specialized machines widely utilized for marine
cargo transportation. Heavily influenced by the ship motions excited by sea waves, the …

由于工业实践对运输能力提出了更高的要求, 双吊车的应用日益广泛. 然而其动力学模型非线性
很强, 因此控制器结构十分复杂. 另一方面, 大型货物的摆动很难抑制, 这给双吊车的自动化带来 …
