Imprecise positioning and swing of load of overhead crane cause prolonged transportation time. Some researchers tried to achieve suppression of swing angle and fast transfer simultaneously. But, the hoisting motion is usually ignored which can cause greater swing angle. Hence, a physical 2-DOF overhead crane model which consists of horizontal motio...

We propose a new family of one-dimensional (1D) active weight two-code keying (TCK) in spectral amplitude coding (SAC) optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) networks. We use encoding and decoding transfer functions to operate the 1D active weight TCK. The proposed structure includes an optical line terminal (OLT) and optical network units (...

A non-linear model for an overhead crane system is derived which takes into account a combination of a trolley and a pendulum. The overall mathematical model obtained is simulated using MATLAB-SIMULINK. Open-loop simulations run on cases depending on whether the air resistance is taken into account or not, and whether the angle of oscillation is small or large, indicate the validity of such model, hence reflecting similar trends in industries which are concerned with material handling equipment. A hand-crafted fuzzy controller, which includes two rule bases, one for position control, the other for sway-angle control, was designed and successfully implemented on the above simulated model. Preliminary results are very encouraging, and indicate the feasibility of such a two rule base control strategy. The results obtained are presented, analysed and discussed.
