Abstract

This paper presents investigations into the applications and performance of command shaping techniques for control of payload sway of a boom crane based on filtering and the input shaping technique. The mathematical dynamic model describing the motion of the boom crane is developed using the Lagrange-Euler's equation. The dynamic characteristics of the system are studied and analysed using the Matlab Simulink in time and frequency domains. Command shaping techniques based on filtering and the input shaping techniques are then developed and used to control the payload sway of the boom crane. The performance of the control techniques are studied in terms of the level of sway reduction, time response and robustness. Finally, a comparative assessment of the effectiveness of the control schemes for sway control of a boom crane is presented and discussed.
