| description | Considering the anti-swing control and output constraint problems of shipboard cranes, a nonlinear anti-swing controller based on asymmetric barrier Lyapunov functions (BLFs) is designed. First, model transformation mitigates the explicit effects of ship roll on the desired position and payload fluctuations. Then, a newly constructed BLF is introduced into the energy-based Lyapunov candidate function to generate nonlinear displacement and angle constraint terms to control the rope length and boom luffing angle. Among these, constraints with positive bounds are effectively handled by the proposed BLF. For the swing constraints of the unactuated payload, a carefully designed relevant constraint term is embedded in the controller by constructing an auxiliary signal, and strict theoretical analysis is provided by using a reductio ad absurdum argument. Additionally, the auxiliary signal effectively couples the boom and payload motions, thereby improving swing suppression performance. Finally, the asymptotic stability is proven using LaSalle’s invariance principle. The simulation comparison results indicate that the proposed method exhibits satisfactory performance in swing suppression control and output constraints. In all simulation cases, the payload swing angle complies with the 3° constraint and converges to the desired range within 6 s. This study provides an effective solution to the control challenges of shipboard crane systems operating in confined spaces, offering significant practical value and applicability. |
