Abstract
In positioning control of a machine without feedback control mechanism, the construction methods of acceleration input pattern which suppress the residual vibration are proposed. In this paper, the application of these methods to an overhead traveling crane is discussed with taking account of the nonlinearity caused by the angle of a wire. By numerical simulations and experiments, it is clarified that the proposed methods are valid to the crane and the effect of nonlinearity is relatively small. These methods can advance the robustness of the system by combining together
