Adaptation of Nontraditional Control Techniques to Nonlinear Micro and Macro Mechanical Systems

We investigate the implementation of nontraditional open-loop and closed-loop control techniques to systems at the micro and macro scales. At the macro level, we consider a quay-side container crane. It is known that the United States relies on ocean transportation for 95% of cargo tonnage that move...
