This article presents a complete review of the modeling and control schemes for overhead
cranes operating in 2D and 3D spaces published to date. The modeling schemes including …

A class of new container cranes with eight-link lifting mechanics which can reduce sway
efficiently as a result of improved lifting structure have been put to use recently, and both …

We consider the problem of designing a generalized” Twisting” controller to avoid the
parametric resonance effect and to attenuate the load oscillations in a parametrically excited …

In the last years the study of periodic linear systems has been considered of fundamental
interest because periodic variations happen in a great range of physical systems; an …

The motion induced sway of oscillatory systems such as gantry cranes may decrease the
efficiency of production lines. In this thesis, modelling and development of input sha** …
