Abstract
A crane system has a variety of applications in industry and for research purposes. However, this system is underactuated and is always affected by disturbances, which compromises the controller design stage. Then, this work develops a new control scheme to control two-dimensional (2D) perturbed overhead cranes. The new proposal separates the controller into two parts. The first controller component is utilized to compensate for disturbances. The second control consists of a switching controller combining a variable-gain scheme and a variable-structure methodology. The new proposal attains prescribed-time convergence for the unperturbed case and asymptotic convergence for the perturbed case. Extensive simulations demonstrate that the tracking errors exhibit low values with low power demands under different initial conditions and matched and unmatched disturbances while payload oscillations are attenuated effectively. Besides, experiments demonstrate the superiority of the novel control methodology with the lowest tracking errors in the trolley and rope; also, payload variations are reduced to half of the value obtained with the best of the controllers used for comparison, demonstrating the appealing features of the new proposal.
期刊介绍:
Applied Mathematical Modelling focuses on research related to the mathematical modelling of engineering and environmental processes, manufacturing, and industrial systems. A significant emerging area of research activity involves multiphysics processes, and contributions in this area are particularly encouraged.
This influential publication covers a wide spectrum of subjects including heat transfer, fluid mechanics, CFD, and transport phenomena; solid mechanics and mechanics of metals; electromagnets and MHD; reliability modelling and system optimization; finite volume, finite element, and boundary element procedures; modelling of inventory, industrial, manufacturing and logistics systems for viable decision making; civil engineering systems and structures; mineral and energy resources; relevant software engineering issues associated with CAD and CAE; and materials and metallurgical engineering.
Applied Mathematical Modelling is primarily interested in papers developing increased insights into real-world problems through novel mathematical modelling, novel applications or a combination of these. Papers employing existing numerical techniques must demonstrate sufficient novelty in the solution of practical problems. Papers on fuzzy logic in decision-making or purely financial mathematics are normally not considered. Research on fractional differential equations, bifurcation, and numerical methods needs to include practical examples. Population dynamics must solve realistic scenarios. Papers in the area of logistics and business modelling should demonstrate meaningful managerial insight. Submissions with no real-world application will not be considered.
