A three-dimensional modeling of container cranes subject to wind loads is presented
together with full-scale experimental tests, system identification and model validation. The …

In this paper, the residual vibration control problem of a nuclear power plant's fuel-transport
system is discussed. The purpose of the system is to transport fuel rods to the target position …

In this investigation, an innovative type of frictional damper called Arc-surfaced Frictional
Damper (AFD) is introduced. The damping force of such damper is secured by pre …

With the wide application of large cranes, what role does the crane play in the response of
the pile-supported wharf needs to be carefully considered, but the effect of the crane is often …

In this study, the effect of the vertical component of earthquakes on the seismic response of a
container crane was investigated by using the shake table test on a 1/20 scale container …

Fatigue crack growth is normally influenced by multiple factors, including crack length, crack
depth, crack angle and section radius. In this paper, an improved sensitivity surrogate model …

In the seismic analysis, the boundary condition of a container crane is a complex problem
when dealing with the contact between the crane's toes and the ground surface or wharf …

Stacked multibody systems, exemplified by overhead cranes in nuclear power plants
(OCNPP), play a crucial role in engineering applications. Under strong earthquakes, non …

This paper is concerned with the verification of mathematical modeling of the container
cranes under earthquake loadings with shake table test results. Comparison of the shake …

Tower cranes, which are composed of a lattice structure, are mostly used to transport heavy
materials and equipment in construction sites. The delicate structure of tower cranes and …
