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 …

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 …

This study analyses dynamic influence of stochastic vibro-impact ship behaviour on the
ship's launch and recovery capability. To deliver cargo and people to the Arctic regions …

The paper investigates a nonlinear vibration mitigation strategy of a variable length
pendulum subjected to a harmonic external excitation. A nonlinear absorber in a form of a tri …

In practical applications, industrial cranes may exhibit double-pendulum swing effects, due
to many factors, such as large payload scales and non-negligible hook masses. Currently …

Payload transportation and manipulation by rotorcraft drones are receiving a lot of attention
from the military, industrial and logistics research areas. The interactions between the UAV …

For antiswing control of underactuated cranes, how to guarantee the converging speed of
cranes through control design is essential but still remains unsolved. In this article, the …

Presently, ship-mounted cranes are playing more and more important roles in modern
ocean transportation and logistics. Different from traditional land-fixed crane systems, ship …

Cranes are the centrepiece of construction equipment during the on-site installation stage of
Modular integrated construction (MiC). Any disruption which occurs during this stage can …

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 …
