The book introduces anti-sway control approaches for double-pendulum overhead cranes, including control methods, theoretical analyses, simulation results and source codes of each control design. All methods are analyzed and verified by MATLAB. Passivity-based, sliding-mode-based and Fuzzy-logic-based control methods are massively discussed. This book is suitable for both academic researchers and industrial R&D engineers.

This book introduces and develops the mathematical models used to describe crane dynamics, and explores established and emerging control methods employed for industrial cranes. It opens with a general introduction to the design and structure of various crane types including gantry cranes, rotary cranes, and mobile cranes currently being used for material handling processes. Mathematical models describing their dynamics for control purposes are developed via two different modeling approaches: lumped-mass and distributed parameter models. Control strategies applicable to real industrial problems are then discussed, including open-loop control, feedback control, boundary control, and hybrid control strategies. Finally, based on the methods covered in the book, future research directions are proposed for the advancement of crane technologies. This book can be used by graduate students, engineers, and researchers in the material handling industry including those working in warehouses, manufacturing, construction sites, ship building, seaports, container terminals, nuclear power plants, and in offshore engineering.
The objective of the conference is to bring together theoretical experts and control systems specialists, to evaluate the new possibilities of techniques, design procedures and instruments in process control projects Different fields of manufacturing benefit from automation by introducing suitable control strategies and various procedures without relevant modifications on the productive process Papers for presentation may range from theoretically rigorous research works to industrial applications
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Transport Systems Telematics, TST 2014, held in Katowice/Kraków and Ustroń, Poland, in October 2014. The 49 papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 125 submissions. The papers provide an overview of solutions being developed in the fields of transport telematics and intelligent transport systems.
Production, new materials development, and mechanics are the central subjects of modern industry and advanced science. With a very broad reach across several different disciplines, selecting the most forward-thinking research to review can be a hefty task, especially for study in niche applications that receive little coverage. For those subjects, collecting the research available is of utmost importance. The Handbook of Research on Advancements in Manufacturing, Materials, and Mechanical Engineering is an essential reference source that examines emerging obstacles in these fields of engineering and the methods and tools used to find solutions. Featuring coverage of a broad range of topics including fabricating procedures, automated control, and material selection, this book is ideally designed for academics; tribology and materials researchers; mechanical, physics, and materials engineers; professionals in related industries; scientists; and students.
This book reports on the latest developments in sliding mode overhead crane control, presenting novel research ideas and findings on sliding mode control (SMC), hierarchical SMC and compensator design-based hierarchical sliding mode. The results, which were previously scattered across various journals and conference proceedings, are now presented in a systematic and unified form. The book will be of interest to researchers, engineers and graduate students in control engineering and mechanical engineering who want to learn the methods and applications of SMC.
This second of three volumes includes papers from the second series of NODYCON which was held virtually in February of 2021. The conference papers reflect a broad coverage of topics in nonlinear dynamics, ranging from traditional topics from established streams of research to those from relatively unexplored and emerging venues of research. These include · Nonlinear vibration control · Control of nonlinear systems and synchronization · Experimental dynamics · System identification and SHM · Multibody dynamics
