In this paper, the modeling and control problem of an overhead crane equipped with a three-
dimensional (3-D) variable length flexible cable is discussed. In order to achieve high …

In this study, integral sliding mode control is proposed for tower cranes to ensure precise
tracking of the desired position while reducing the oscillations of the payload. The nonlinear …

A new intelligent hybrid structure used for online tuning of a PID controller is proposed in this
paper. The structure is based on two adaptive neural networks, both with built-in Chebyshev …

The overhead trolley of a gantry crane can be moved in two directions in the plane. The
trolley is attempting to control the motion of a suspended, rigid-body, distributed mass load …

The mathematical model of the three-dimensional crane using the Euler-Lagrange approach
is derived. A statespace representation of the derived model is proposed and explored in the …

Cranes are used to move heavy cargo. While they are in general controlled by a human
operator, automated systems are able to obtain more precise control. In this paper, we …

Nowadays, cranes are widely employed in many fields of the industry and its utilization
represents a large financial influence. The investment on cranes, for example, on docks are …

The paper presents a control approach to a flexible gantry crane system. From Hamilton's
extended principle the equations of motion that characterized coupled transverse …

This paper presents the control of 3D crane system by using a decoupled adaptive neuro-
fuzzy controller based on the sliding mode theory. The considered 3D crane involves a …

This study develops a new controller for an industrial crane system in a three-dimensional
space. First, the dynamic model of the industrial crane system with two subsystems, the …
