Abstract

In this paper we focus our attention on the design of the feedback-based feed-forward controller asymptotically stabilizing the double-pendulum-type (D-P-T) crane system with the time-varying rope length in the desired end position of payload (the origin of the coordinate system). In principle, two cases are considered, in the first case, the sway angle of payload is uncontrolled and second case, when the sway angle of payload is controlled by an external force. Precise mathematical modeling in the framework of Lagrange formalism without the traditional neglect of the important structural parameters of the D-P-T crane system and numerical simulation in the Matlab environment indicate the substantial reduction of the transportation time to the desired end position.
