Nonlinear Stability of a Delayed Feedback Controlled Container Crane
نویسنده
چکیده
A simplified model of a container crane subject to a delayed feedback is investigated. The conditions for a Hopf bifurcation to stable/unstable limit-cycle solutions are determined. It is shown that a subcritical Hopf bifurcation to unstable oscillations cannot be ruled out and the undesired coexistence of stable large amplitude oscillations and a stable equilibrium endangers the robustness of time-delay control strategies. The bifurcation is analyzed both analytically and numerically using a continuation method.

Abstract: This paper considers time-optimal control for a container crane based on a Model Predictive Control approach. The model we use is nonlinear and it is planar, i.e. we only consider the swing (not the skew) and we take constraints on the input signal into consideration. Since the time required for the optimization makes timeoptimal not suitable for fast systems and/or complex systems, s...
