Abstract:

Due to load uncertainties of cranes, it is necessary to find exact kinematic parameters of crane mechanisms.This research is concerned with application of neural network to the kinematic analysis of a crane mechanism. The type of network investigated is a Radial Basis Neural Network (RBNN). The crane mechanism is considered as a double-rocker four-bar mechanism. Desired kinematic parameter of the crane is found by software dealing with simulation and analysis of mechanisms. The RBNN is employed in four parameters prediction schemes; displacement, velocity, acceleration and force. The results obtained have supported the theory that the proposed RBNN is able to predict different types of crane system.
