Sway reduction is very vital in a nonlinear oscillatory system such as a gantry crane. In this paper, a new design is proposed for active sway control of a gantry crane using an electrical ducted fan. The thrust force developed by the motor is used to cancel out payload oscillation. A dynamic model...
