  • This article describes the time delay control of the 3-dimensional motion of the container cranes used in dockside container terminals. The container is suspended by four flexible cables via spreader, and due to the disturbances such as the wind and acceleration of cranes, the container undergoes translational(sway) and rotational position errors. And due to the uncertainty of weight and rotational inertia, accurate position control of container crane is difficult to realize. This paper, based on the analysis of 3-dimensional dynamics of container moving systems, develops time delay control algorithm [1]. The developed control algorithm is shown effective in controlling the container position in the presence of gust and parameter uncertainties.

  • Thermally induced vibration response of solar array is investigated. The solar array model consists of composite thin walled beam and solar blanket, spreader bar. The composite thin walled beam incorporates a number of nonclassical effects of transverse shear, primary and secondary warping, rotary inertia and anisotropy of constituent materials. The solar blanket is a membrane subjected to uniform tension in the z direction. The spreader bar is a rigid member. A coupled thermal structure analysis that includes the effects of structural deformations on heating and temperature gradient is investigated. A stability criterion given in parameters for establishes the conditions for thermal flutter.

  • In this paper, a copper foil-thick grapheme (thin graphite sheet)-copper foil structure is reported to achieve mechanically strong and high thermal conductive layer suitable for heat spreading components. Since graphene provides much higher thermal conductivity than copper, thick graphene embedded copper layer can achieve higher effective thermal conductivity which is proportional to graphene/copper thickness ratio. Since copper is nonreactive with carbon material which is graphene, chromium is used as adhesion layer to achieve copper-thick graphene-copper bonding for graphene embedded copper layer. Both sides of thick graphene were coated with chromium as an adhesion layer followed by copper by sputtering. The copper foil was bonded to sputtered copper layer on thick graphene. Angstrom's method was used to measure the thermal conductivity of fabricated copper-thick graphene-copper structure. The thermal conductivity of the copper-thick graphene-copper structures is measured as $686W/m{\cdot}K$ which is 1.6 times higher than thermal conductivity of pure copper.

  • The sway motion of the spreader during and after movement causes an efficiency problem of position control in unmaned gantry crane. The objective of this research is to investigate the phenomenon that the load is taken by the sway motion of crane. For deriving the dynamic equations related to the swing motion of crane, we introduced a conception of spring and damper in the upper part of the crane. During the crane and trolley is driving along the velocity profile, the swing motion of the spreader and crane will be simulated. The simulation result of the equation of motion using the Runge-Kutta method is presented in this paper. And we will show an effect of the swing of the crane in this research.

  • In this paper, a foggy-degraded image restoration technique with a physics-based degradation model is proposed for the measurement system. When the degradation model is used for the image restoration, its parameters and a distance from the spreader to the camera have to be previously known. In the proposed image restoration technique, the parameters are estimated from variances and averages of intensities on two foggy-degraded landmark images taken at different distances. Foggy-degraded images can be restored with the estimated parameters and the distance measured by the measurement system. On the basis of the experimental results, the performance of the proposed foggy-degraded image restoration technique was verified.

  • The spreaders on container cranes are usually controlled to stop at the same time as their trolleys are stopped. Despite the use of adequate control systems, however, the spreaders usually have comparatively large sway movements, due to their suspension from the trolleys through cables. It is, therefore, important to accurately measure the attitudes of the spreaders, in order to suppress such sways by means of secondary control. Until now, most of conventional anti sway control systems focus on the direct control of the movements of trolleys. which seems not suitable to speed up the entire process - loading and unloading of containers. In this paper, we suggest a new anti sway control system: By using extra equipments - two propellers to suppress the sway and a PSD camera to measure the spreader's attitude - installed on the spreader and the trolley. the sway of the suspended load j, considerably suppressed. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified by the computer simulation and experiment with the miniature of the container crane system.

  • In this paper, we propose a composition method of the template image whose detection performance does not have incorrect detection and improves also on the tough photography conditions of the outdoors, rainy weather and night. This research was done to measure a relative position between a spreader and a target container with image processing to realize full-automatic quayside gantry cranes. By the proposal method, we confirmed that the template image for object detection has a contour image more effective than a gray image.
