Crane Safety Assessment Method Based on Entropy and Cumulative Prospect Theory

open access: yesEntropy, 2017
Assessing the safety status of cranes is an important problem. To overcome the inaccuracies and misjudgments in such assessments, this work describes a safety assessment method for cranes that combines entropy and cumulative prospect theory. Firstly, the

A Multi‐Mode Analytical Frequency Modulation Input‐Shaping Control

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 415-425, September 2025.
ABSTRACT In rest‐to‐rest maneuvers, input shapers like the double step (DS), zero vibration (ZV), and zero vibration derivative (ZVD) are widely utilized to eliminate residual vibrations in single‐mode systems. These shapers can be used to eliminate residual oscillations in multimode systems, given that the higher frequencies are odd multiples of the ...

Panoramic Images for Situational Awareness in a 3D Chart-of-the-Future Display [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Many early charts featured sketches of the coastline, providing a good picture of what the shore looked like from the bridge of a ship. These helped the mariner to distinguish one port from another during an approach and establish their rough position ...
