Abstract: Input shaping has been shown to be a practical and effective control scheme for reducing payload swing on industrial bridge and gantry cranes. However, when applied to tower cranes, standard ...

Abstract: Input shaping is an effective means of eliminating vibration in many types of flexible systems. This paper discusses how input shaper performance is affected by a fixed acceleration limit. This ...

Abstract: Dr. Shahruz is correct in asserting that exact cancellation of frictional terms is not possible. However, nowhere in our paper do we claim exact cancellation, nor does our method require exact ...

Abstract: Fast and accurate point-to-point motion is a common operation for industrial machines, but vibration will frequently corrupt such motion. This paper develops commands that can move machines without ...

Abstract: The payload oscillation inherent to all cranes makes it challenging for human operators to manipulate payloads quickly, accurately, and safely. An input-shaping controller was implemented on a ...

Abstract: The conventional unity magnitude zero vibration (UM-ZV) command shaping technique is an effective means for eliminating vibration in linear mechanical systems with on-off actuators. This paper ...
