Abstract :
This paper deals with the simulation of a ship-containers´ gantry crane cabin behavior, during an operation of load releasing. The goal consists of obtaining a reliable model of the cabin, with the aim of reducing the non-desired cabin vibrations. We present the Simulink-based model and the simulation results when the load is released by the crane in the containers´ ship. We conclude that the mass center position of the cabin affects dramatically to the vibrations of the crane. A set of graphs are presented involving displacements and rotations of the cabin to illustrate the effect of the mass center position´s bias.
