Dynamic analysis and control of jib crane in case of jib luffing motion using modelling and simulations

摘要

System studied in this work is Luffing jib Crane used for materials handling. Cycle of work is jib luffing upwards. Research focuses on control of oscillations using modeling and simulations. Dynamic parameters investigated are: acceleration, angular velocity, forces and torque in main parts of crane, and influence of load swinging. Diagrams are presented as the solution results of the tested system. The aim is to design block diagram that represents model of crane and motion, analyze dynamics, look for optimal motion control functions and get conclusions about behavior of crane. Analysis will be done with computer application MapleSim.
