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 book categorizes the wide area of data-driven model-free controllers, reveals the exact
benefits of such controllers, gives the in-depth theory and mathematical proofs behind them …

In this study, integral sliding mode control is proposed for tower cranes to ensure precise
tracking of the desired position while reducing the oscillations of the payload. The nonlinear …

Tower cranes are the main tool of the horizontal and vertical transportation for construction,
which are always driven by operators slowly to prevent payloads from large swing, such that …

Tower crane is one of the flexible maneuvering systems that has been applied pervasively
as a powerful big-scale construction machine. The under-actuated tower crane system has …

As a non-linear underactuated system, the tower crane should be controlled to transport the
load to reference position quickly and smoothly. The actual tower crane is susceptible to the …

Since numerical computation has become very efficient, Model Predictive Control (MPC) has
become more relevant for control tasks, apart from process control, over the last years. This …

This paper presents one possible application of generalized quasi-orthogonal functional
networks in the sensitivity analysis of complex dynamical systems. First, a new type of first …

Gantry crane is a critical system used for point-to-point transportation of a payload in
industries, ports, nuclear plants etc. Speed, accuracy and safety are of paramount …

Abstract The 3 Degree-of-Freedom (DOF) crane represents one of the most widely deployed
realworld platforms in the world today. It uses levers and pulleys for grip**, lifting and …
