Exponential stabilization of flexural sway vibration of gantry crane via boundary control method

Abstract

This paper aims to develop a boundary control solution for complicated gantry crane coupled motions. In addition to the large angle sway motion, the crane cable has a flexural transverse vibration. The Hamilton principle has been utilized to derive the governing partial differential equations of motion. The control objectives which are sought include: moving the payload to the desired position; reducing the payload swing with large sway angle; and finally suppressing the cable transverse vibrations in the presence of boundary disturbances simultaneously. These simultaneous boundary control objectives make the problem challenging. The proposed control approach is based on the original nonlinear hybrid partial differential equation–ordinary differential equation model without any simplifications of sway motion nonlinearities, coupling effects, and the effect of gravitational force. Using the Lyapunov method, a boundary control law has been designed which guarantees the exponential stability and uniform boundedness of the closed-loop system. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method, numerical simulation results are provided by applying the finite difference method.

A data-driven approach for modifying the rope dynamics model of the flexible hoisting system

“…According to equation (18), the old processor states C tÀ1 , which are supposed to contain the memory information, are fused to the candidate values Ct of new information. The result f t from the forgetting gate determines what information is forgotten in C tÀ1 .…”

“…For this reason, much research established rope models with this method. [16][17][18] Thus, this paper builds the physical model using the distributed parameter model.…”

“…When the value is 0, it corresponds to complete forgetting. f t will be multiplied by the processor state in equation (18). f t determines which parts of the processor state from the previous step should be passed on…”

Damage Detection of Gantry Crane with a Moving Mass Using Artificial Neural Network

“…An experimental modal analysis and finite element method (FEM) were used to identify the dynamic behavior of different structures [6][7][8][9]. The other subject in this field is minimizing payload swinging caused by the positioning process by utilizing different approaches, such as sliding mode control, adaptive tracking control, and error monitoring control [10][11][12][13][14][15]. Structural damage is always a possibility, and it is particularly prone to propagation because of numerous mechanical reasons.…”

Adaptive fault-tolerant boundary vibration control for a flexible aircraft wing against actuator and sensor faults

“…Paranjape et al, 2013;He and Zhang, 2017). There have been many previous studies on the vibration control of systems described by PDE models (Entessari et al, 2019;Xing et al, 2020;Zhao et al, 2019aZhao et al, , 2019b. Liu et al (2017), for example, established a PDE model to solve the vibration control problem with input constraints for flexible aerial refueling hoses with variable lengths.…”
