“…From the crane control aspect, various control algorithms have been proposed to deal with sway suppression. These methods include open-loop control, such as input shaping control for gantry cranes, bridges (Ngo et al, 2012;Hong et al, 2003;Huey et al, 2008;Robertson and Singhose, 2009;Singhose et al, 2000;Sorensen et al, 2007;Sorensen and Singhose, 2008;Sung and Singhose, 2009a; Sung and Singhose, 2009b), and flexible systems in general (Hong et al, 2003;Huey et al, 2008;Robertson and Singhose, 2009;Singhose et al, 2000;Sorensen et al, 2007;Sorensen and Singhose, 2008;Sung and Singhose, 2009a;Sung and Singhose, 2009b) as well as closed-loop control, such as optimal control (Al-Garni et al, 1995;Hong et al, 2000), state feedback control (Kim et al, 2004;Kłosiński, 2005;Messineo et al, 2008;Park et al, 2007;Sawodny et al, 2002), fuzzy control (Ahmad, 2009;Benhidjeb and Gissinger, 1995;Chang and Chiang, 2008;Chen et al, 2009;Cho and Lee, 2002;Omar et al, 2004), adaptive control (Cheng-Yuan, 2007;Liu et al, 2005;Messineo and Serrani, 2009;Mizumoto et al, 2007;Ngo and Hong, 2012a;Tuan et al, 2013;Yang and Yang, 2007), and robust control…”
