Abstract
This paper investigates the stochastic dynamics, stability and control of a ship-based crane payload motion, as well as the first time passage type of failure. The simplified nonlinear model of the payload motion is considered, where the excitation of a suspension point is imposed due to the heaving motion of waves. The latter enters the system parametrically, leading to a Mathieu type nonlinear equation. The stability boundaries are numerically calculated, using the Lyapunov exponent approach. The control strategy, based on the feedback bang–bang control policy, is implemented to minimize the load's swinging motion. Finally, the first time passage problem is addressed employing Monte-Carlo sampling of the failure process.
