In container terminals, the efficiency of loading operations in a container yard highly
depends on the productivity of yard cranes. In loading operation, yard cranes have to
pick-up the containers which are stacked in the yard-bays to satisfy the work schedule
requirement of quay crane, the equipment for loading and...
The efficiency of a marine cargo terminal depends
primarily upon a smooth and orderly flow of material
during the container loading process. It has been
observed that the transtainer operation is the bottleneck
in the loading process due to frequent rehandles of
containers and the speed of the transtainer. Past...
In this thesis, A nonlinear methodology for the control of the highly
maneuverable, high performance aircraft HARV (F-18) is studied by using sliding-mode
control (SMC). This control law, which takes a continuous function when the
input constraints are not considered, satisfies the reachability condition by which
concerned states are driven...
