double bridge girder overhead cranes are used for heavy duty applications in theindustry. in this paper a detailed parametric design optimization of the main girder of box type isperformed for a 150ton capacity and 32m long span crane, after its basic design using availabledesign rules. design optimization is performed using detailed 3d finite element analysis bychanging the number, shape and l...

in this study, a new servo control system is presented for the overhead crane based on discrete-time state feedback approach. it provides both robust tracking and load swing suppression. inspired from independent joint and computed torque control in robot manipulator field, a new model is derived in which the crane actuators are considered as the main plant. the crane nonlinearities are then tr...

This study considers a practical overhead crane control problem of designing a fuzzy control to ensure that the trolley arrives precisely at its destination; the load swing angle approaches to zero, and the energy of input and states is minimized. Furthermore, the constraints for the overhead crane operation are also considered and satisfied. Those constraints are that when the crane is moving,...

This paper pertains to advanced automation of the load transfer process using overhead cranes. Overhead cranes are widely used in various areas of industry, including manufacturing, construction, shipping, etc. Load transfer operations using overhead cranes have to be performed fast and safely. As such, these operations are handled by expert operators however, the demand for an automatic consis...

The behavior of many mechanical systems, such as overhead cranes, can be predicted through intuitive observation of their motion under various forces. Mathematical modeling of an overhead crane shows that it is highly coupled. Nonetheless, it is surprisingly easy for an experienced crane operator to drive payloads to target positions with minimal cable swing. This observation naturally promotes...

A crane is the type of machine mainly used for handling heavy loads in different industry branches: metallurgy, paper and cement industry. By the construction, cranes are divided into the overhead and gantry cranes. An overhead crane, also known as a bridge crane, is a type of crane where the hook and line mechanism runs along a horizontal beam that itself travels on the two widely separated ra...
