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 paper reviews the dynamics and vibration control techniques for marine riser systems.
The riser pipes are modeled as Euler-Bernoulli beams that vibrate under the effects of ocean …

As a type of indispensable oceanic transportation tools, ship-mounted crane systems are
widely employed to transport cargoes and containers on vessels due to their extraordinary …

In the field of modern industrial engineering, many mechanical systems are underactuated,
exhibiting strong nonlinear characteristics and high flexibility. However, the lack of control …

In this paper, the control problem is addressed for a hybrid PDE–ODE system that describes
a nonuniform gantry crane system with constrained tension. A bottom payload hangs from …

In real-world applications, industrial cranes commonly suffer from effects caused by the so-
called double-pendulum phenomenon in many situations. However, at present, the double …

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 …

Tower crane systems exhibit high nonlinearity and underactuation, making the control issue
challenging. Most reported methods for tower crane systems utilize linearized models, and …

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 …

Tower cranes are a class of important and useful tools for the transportation of large
cargoes, especially in high building construction. Moreover, the combination of jibs' …
