Simulation of the misalignment process of an overhead crane in Matlab / Simulink

Abstract

The object of the study is the angle of deviation of the crane from the perpendicular to the rails in a horizontal plane. The aim of the work is the mathematical description of the crane’s bridge beam misalignment, creation of the model in Matlab Simulink. Based on the resulting model, there was implemented a control system that compensates for emerging misalignment by speeding up or slowing down crane drives.
