Abstract: Abstract. Enhancing the energy efficiency in controlling an overhead crane during repeated rest-to-rest movements can result in significant energy savings. Moreover, it influences both maintenance expenditures and safety. ...

Abstract: Traditionally, multimode input shaping controllers are tuned to systems' frequencies. This work suggests an alternative approach. A frequencymodulation (FM) input shaping technique is developed to tune the resonant frequencies ...

Abstract: Great amount of work has been dedicated to eliminate residual vibrations in rest-to-rest motion. Considerable amount of these methods is based on convolving a general input signal with a sequence of timed impulses. These ...
