CONTROL OF SHIPBOARD CRANES

摘要

Shipboard cranes for cargo transfer at sea can be subject to severe pendulation of the cargo. This presents a gravedanger to the cargo, equipment, and most importantly to personnel. Methods to improve the current operationare bemg considered The first stage of Uris effort has concentrated on constructing a rudimentary simulator forassessing the interaction of system changes with the human crane operator. Future work will include upgradingof the ship/crane model, incorporation into the simulator, and development and testing of various controlalgorithms with initial emphasis on chaos control techniques [2]-[6].‘Ibis work was supported by the Office of Naval Research.
