Mass of The Cart
Mass of The Cart
Mass of The Cart
(not marked in fig) denotes the distance of the rail with the cart from the center
of the construction frame;
(not marked in fig) denotes the distance of the cart from the center of the tail;
denotes the angle between the negative direction on the axis and the projection
of the lift-line onto the plane.
Denote also:
- mass of the payload;
- mass of the cart;
- mass of the moving rail;
- coordinates of the payload;
- reaction force in the lift-line acting on the cart;
- force driving the cart;
- force driving the rail with cart;
- force controlling the length of the lift-line;
- friction forces.
The position of the payload is described by the equalities:

it is assumed that the lift-line is always stretched, that is:

In the case where the payload is lifted and lowered with the use of the control force
(4)-(12) should be replaced as follows

the following symbols are used is the sequel
In order to derive the crane equations, formulas (9)-(11) and (13) are substitude into (4)-(8)

The equations (1)-(3) are differentiated twice with taking into account that the length of the
lift-line ( ) varies in time due to the action of control force , the complete system of
nonlinear state equations for the crane controlled by means three forces is obtained.

.
The equation which describe the motion of the crane along the y axis, that is, the equations
for
are not connected with the equations for the variables
,
describing the motion along the x axis. The crane can be thus treated as two independent
subsystems.
