Abstract: The optimized input shaping control method was proposed to reduce the under actuated overhead crane’s oscillation caused via the inertia force. The dynamic model of the overhead crane was proposed according to the physics structure of the crane. The probability distribution function of the crane’s swing frequency was obtained. The optimized multi-model composite based on the probability distribution function of the crane’s swing frequency was used as the feed-forward input to increase the frequency of robustness. Simulation results indicate that the optimized multi-model composite input shaping can reduce the oscillation the overhead crane.
