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 …

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 …

Tower cranes are a class of important and useful tools for the transportation of large
