Residual Vibration Suppression of Crane Movement by Input Shaping: Experimental Investigation and Finite Element Dynamics Simulations

Cranes play important roles for transferring a payload. Motion induced swings during crane maneuver make it difficult to move the payload rapidly with high positioning accuracy and could possibly cause safety concern in hazardous environments. Input shaping provides an effective method of suppressing the payload swings and residual vibrations during a rapid maneuver. However, the traditional designs of input shapers have all been based on rigid...
