摘要

In offshore cargo handling operations, the vessel inevitably experiences complex wave-induced motions such as rolling, pitching and heaving, which affect the normal operation of vessel board cranes. In this study, a marine 3-DOF folding jib crane was proposed to compensate for wave-induced vessel motions. The folding jib crane is specially designed according to the wave-induced vessel motions and feedback control system based on position information was constructed for compensating motion. A scaled-down prototype of the folding jib crane was constructed and a Stewart platform was used to simulate the wave-induced vessel motions for experimentally evaluating the compensation performance. The experimental results showed that the proposed 3D folding jib crane can effectively compensate the wave-induced motion with the compensation effect better than 81 %, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed compensation scheme.
