Design and development of anchoring positioning control system for riprap leveling ship

Abstract

It is very important to level foundation bed by riprap in water and soil engineering. In this paper, a real-time feedback convergence control method is proposed to control the position and heading angle of the riprap leveling ship. The wind, wave, current and hydrodynamic parameters are obtained by empirical formula; the tension of four cables is calculated according to the balance equation of six degrees of freedom, and then the cable deformation is obtained. According to the deformation of the cable, the length of the cable in a certain equilibrium state can be obtained. The length of four cables can be lengthened or shortened by comparing the length of cables at two balanced positions. The length of cables can be controlled by winch to complete the anchoring and positioning control of leveling ship.
