Crane systems are tremendously utilised in numerous heavy load transportation industries,
and therefore, the control of crane systems is a well-established research field. As the last …

When modeling cranes, the hook and the suspended cargo are usually regarded roughly as
one mass point for simplicity, ie, the cargo swing is modeled as that of a single pendulum …

In this paper, a sliding-mode control for an offshore container crane is discussed. The
offshore container crane is used to load/unload containers between a huge container ship …

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 …

This paper proposes an improved input shaping for minimising payload swing of an
overhead crane with payload hoisting and payload mass variations. A real time unity …

Overhead cranes are widely used structures for lifting and conveying heavy loads. The
development of feedback control systems for such equipment is important due to the large …

As an efficient transportation tool, a tower crane is widely used in construction sites. To
improve the working efficiency, some automatic control methods have been proposed for …

Large amplitude oscillation of crane payloads is detrimental to safe and efficient operation.
Under certain conditions, the problem is compounded when the payload creates a double …

The usefulness of cranes is limited because the payload is supported by an overhead
suspension cable that allows oscillation to occur during crane motion. Under certain …

Overhead cranes are widely used in industrial applications for material displacing. Many
linear or non‐linear control schemes have been proposed for overhead cranes and …
