Abstract
This study considers the problem of crane payload sway reduction by spring and damper installed in radial direction between the payload and the cable. Under sway motion, the centrifugal force causes the radial motion, which in turn produces the Coriolis force that reduces sway motion. In free vibration, the non-dimensional analytical form of the optimal spring and damper coefficients can be obtained. Analytical solution shows that the frequency of the radial motion should be twice that of the sway motion. The proposed radial spring and damper exhibits good performance under large sway motions. Numerical simulation of a 2D crane validates the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
